Therapy for Mom Rage, Support for Women in Los Angeles and Throughout California
Specialized Therapy for Mom Rage
It’s Not Just Anger, It’s Overload, Resentment and Lack of support. Therapy is where you get to exhale, be seen, and supported.
Your Rage is a Messenger, Not a Character Flaw You love your kids. But some days, the distance between "I’ve got this" and a door-slamming, heart-pounding explosion feels dangerously short. Then comes the "shame spiral"—the crushing guilt that hits the moment the yelling stops. You find yourself wondering: What is wrong with me? Why can’t I just stay calm?
Here is the truth: Mom Rage isn't an anger problem. It’s an "Overload" problem. For the high-achieving woman, rage is often the final alarm bell of a nervous system that has been paying a Perfectionism Tax (The invisible emotional cost of maintaining an 'optimized' life while your internal identity is being erased by the mental load) for too long. You aren't "broken"; you are a woman whose capacity has been exceeded by the invisible mental load of modern motherhood.
Beyond "Deep Breaths" and Parenting Tips You don't need more advice on how to "stay calm." You need a clinical partner to help you dismantle the system that is driving you to the edge. In our work together, we move past the surface-level frustration to address the core drivers of rage:
The Invisible Load: Identifying the exact points where your "Alpha" drive to manage everything is colliding with the reality of postpartum life.
Sensory Overload: Understanding how the constant noise, touch, and demands of motherhood are red-lining your nervous system.
Identity Friction: Processing the resentment that builds when you feel like your needs have been buried at the bottom of a never-ending to-do list.
The PPD/PPA Link: Recognizing that for many high-functioning women, depression and anxiety don't show up as sadness—they show up as irritability and rage.
Why Virtual Therapy is the Strategic Choice for Overwhelmed Moms If you are already at your breaking point, the last thing you need is the stress of a commute.
No Commute, No Traffic: Whether you are in Newport Beach, Palo Alto, or Santa Monica, we meet where you are—in your home office, your car, or your living room.

The Investment: A Commitment to Your Peace You have spent years over-delivering for everyone else.

By choosing a specialist who understands the psychological profile of the high-achiever, you are choosing a deeper, customized path to stability.

FAQ: Understanding Mom Rage
Is "Mom Rage" a clinical diagnosis? While not a standalone diagnosis, rage is a primary symptom of Postpartum Depression and Postpartum Anxiety. It is often how high-functioning women experience emotional distress when they feel they can no longer "control" their environment.
What is the "10-Minute Free Vibe Check"? I offer a complimentary 10-minute video call to ensure we are a perfect clinical and personal match. This is a no-pressure way for you to share what you're experiencing and see if my specialized approach to the Mental Load is the right fit for you.
Will I have to talk about my childhood? We focus on your current reality—the triggers, the nervous system responses, and the practical shifts you need right now. While we may look at patterns, our goal is to get you regulated and feeling like yourself again as quickly as possible.
