Therapy For Pregnancy, Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, + Motherhood in Marin, California
From the hills of Mill Valley to the boardrooms of San Francisco, the pressure to "curate" a perfect motherhood is relentless.
You aren’t failing; you are paying a Perfectionism Tax. It’s time to stop white-knuckling the mental load and implement a tactical framework for your identity.
High-Performance Motherhood. Hidden Internal Burnout.
Motherhood in Marin often looks polished on the outside—the hiking trails, the preschool pickups, the high-functioning homes. But inside, many women are navigating a profound Identity Ghost—the feeling that the capable, ambitious woman you were before children is being erased by the "Default Parent" role.
If you are constantly "on," yet feel numb, anxious, or resentful, you are experiencing the Perfectionism Tax (the invisible emotional cost of maintaining an 'optimized' life while your internal identity is being erased by the mental load). I provide a boutique clinical space for women who don't need generic self-care; they need a Clinical Strategist to help them dismantle burnout and regulate a nervous system stuck in "Red Alert."
About Me

I understand the unique intersection of professional ambition and maternal identity because I live it. My mission is to ensure that while you care for your family, you don’t lose the person you worked so hard to become.
