Before I had my first child—nothing could have truly prepared me for the exhaustion and emotional toll that came with becoming a mother.
After the initial excitement wore off, I found myself overwhelmed, frustrated, and disconnected from my husband. The constant demands of parenting, the emotional fatigue, and the pressure from extended family created so much tension in our marriage. I’m sure you can relate to some of these struggles.
As a therapist and a mom, I know how easy it is for couples to lose themselves in the chaos of parenting and family life. I’m here to help you rediscover your connection, communicate better, and build a solid foundation for your future.
