Let's Work Together

You're doing everything for everyone, but inside, you feel overwhelmed, unseen, and exhausted.

I'm a mom and a former attorney, so I know what it's like to carry the weight of responsibility while quietly falling apart underneath it.

If you're juggling a high-pressure career, the demands of parenting, or both, it can feel like there's no space left for you. This often shows up as:

• intrusive thoughts you would never say out loud
• checking, rechecking, or needing things to feel "just right"
• anxiety, OCD, or burnout you're silently managing alone
• losing track of what brings you joy

OCD is a particular focus of my work. If you've had thoughts that frighten you, about harm, contamination, your relationship, your children, or your faith, I want you to know those thoughts are a symptom and not a reflection of who you are. People carry them for years before telling anyone, often because they're terrified of what it means about them. It doesn't mean what you're afraid it means, and it responds to treatment. Postpartum OCD in particular goes unrecognized constantly.

Together, we'll carve out a space that's just for you. A space where you can slow down, breathe, and begin to feel like yourself again. I use tools like CBT, ERP, DBT, and motivational interviewing in a supportive, client-led approach.

You are the expert in your own life. My role is to support and guide you with compassion, curiosity, and practical strategies that actually help. You weren't meant to survive this alone, and you don't have to. If you're ready to feel more grounded, connected, and confident again, I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit.

I see clients virtually across Michigan through Ideal Psychology Group.
