Therapy for moms who look like they’re holding it together, but feel anything but.
Online therapy for moms in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia
You’re doing all the things. Parenting. Functioning. Showing up.
And yet your brain will not stop scanning for what could go wrong next.
If you’re struggling with anxiety during and after pregnancy, intrusive thoughts, or OCD, you’re not broken. Your nervous system is exhausted — and stuck in overdrive.
I provide online therapy for mothers experiencing anxiety, OCD, and perfectionism during pregnancy, postpartum, and throughout parenthood. My work is structured, evidence-based, and designed to help you feel calmer, more confident, and less controlled by anxiety.
If you’re ready for therapy that actually helps — you’re in the right place.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. As a woman balancing many roles and responsibilities, I understand the pressure to do it all and the sense of defeat if you can’t.
I love supporting women who look like they’re holding it together—but internally are spiraling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and perfectionism—feel like themselves again. I specialize in perinatal OCD and anxiety, using practical, evidence-based therapy to help moms stop white-knuckling motherhood and instead start living it.
You likely didn’t land on my website by accident, rather you’ve been looking for support from someone who gets it and will offer actual tools and paths forward for engaging in the life you actually want.
Anxiety and OCD in Motherhood Can Look Like…
Constant worry about your baby, your decisions, or your “what if” thoughts.
Intrusive thoughts you’d never say out loud.
Mental checking, reassurance-seeking, or endless rumination.
Feeling on edge even when everything is technically okay.
High-functioning perfectionism that’s slowly burning you out.
I believe you are doing the best you can with what’s worked in the past.
Let’s be curious about what can work now to help you find balance and connect to how you want to show show up and really live life.
I specialize in evidence-based therapy to support moms who are experiencing:
-
From preconception and pregnancy to postpartum there are so many physical, hormonal, identity and role changes that women face.
I have advanced training to understand the nuances that affect a mother's mental health as well as screen for and diagnose perinatal mood and anxiety disorders such as postpartum depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD.
-
I have training from the Cognitive Behavior Institute in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). I primarily work with mothers in the preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum periods who have recently received a diagnosis of perinatal OCD or have been navigating OCD symptoms long before pregnancy.
I have seen first hand the improvements clients are able to make with ERP and how this allows them to live their lives with more freedom and flexibility!
-
Health anxiety can keep your mind stuck in symptom-scanning, Googling, and reassurance-seeking — even when nothing is medically wrong. I help mothers break this cycle using structured, evidence-based therapy so anxiety stops running the show and you can get back to living your life.
-
Motherhood doesn’t always unfold the way we imagine, and that can feel surprisingly lonely. I support moms in making sense of complicated emotions, easing the mental noise, and feel more grounded in their new role — without judgment, pressure, or the expectation to feel grateful all the time.
