Breaking Generational Cycles: Become the Parent You Needed

With In-Person and Virtual Therapy in Cincinnati, OH


You watch as the milk spills for the second time, a puddle forming on the floor despite your earlier reminder to be careful. 


Your initial reaction is frustration, bubbling up from a place deep within you – a place you know all too well.


In that split second, you’re transported back to your own childhood, where spilled milk wasn’t just a mess to clean up,

but a trigger for harsh words and raised voices. 


It’s a cycle you promised yourself you’d break, yet here you are, repeating the same patterns you swore you’d leave behind.


As you find yourself raising your voice, you feel a pang of guilt wash over you. 


This isn’t the parent you want to be – not for your children, and certainly not for yourself. 


You want more than the echo of old wounds; you crave a new narrative, one filled with empathy, patience, and understanding.


As a virtual and in-person counselor for parents, expectant mothers, and couples in Cincinnati, I understand the weight of these moments.

I know the longing to be a different kind of parent – one who offers a calm, safe space for their children to grow and thrive. 


My mission is to help you break free from the grip of past trauma and step into the role you’ve always envisioned for yourself.


Together, we’ll explore the roots of your reactions, untangling the knots of inherited patterns and pave the way for a new way of being. 


No judgment, no shame – just compassionate guidance and unwavering support as you rewrite your story and

create a brighter future for yourself and your family.


Ready to step into the role you were always meant to play – the parent, the partner, the person you’ve always wanted to be?

Let’s make it happen together. 


Schedule your first session today and let’s create a new chapter filled with love, growth, fulfillment,

and no more flipping your lid over spilled milk!

Group Therapy for Mothers in Cincinnati, OH

ADJUSTING TO motherhood

Adjusting to parenthood can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating. Research shows that social support is key when navigating this transition. That’s why having a sense of community with mothers who get it is vital to healing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (formerly known as postpartum depression and anxiety).

What to expect:

You don’t have to struggle alone. This group is for mothers and birthing persons who are struggling to adjust in the postpartum period (up to 24 months).  In group, we will challenge unrealistic societal expectations of motherhood, learn co-regulation skills to improve bonds with your baby and partner(s), and bring you the sense of calm and ease you hoped to experience while parenting. Group enrollment includes a 30-minute meeting prior to the start. Each meeting will be 90-minutes long. The start date is TO BE DETERMINED, depending on sufficient enrollment.

Fee: $100 per group session for 6 weeks, with sliding scale payment options available upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am not in-network with any insurance panels and do not accept insurance for payment of services. I am happy to provide a superbill which you can submit to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement, however, please note it is never guaranteed that your insurance would reimburse you.
I have many reasons for this. Insurance companies can limit and interfere with your treatment. I believe that the duration and frequency of treatment should be determined by you and I alone, not a third party that only has their financial interests in mind. Insurance requires a lot of extra paperwork that I do not get paid for, they do not pay enough per service, and they often change paperwork requirements without proper notice and deny providers payment. It’s a hassle I do not wish to engage with. I value your privacy and confidentiality, and I do not wish to deal with insurance audits and share your records with insurance companies.
I accept credit cards, FSA/HSA cards, checks, or cash for payment. All credit card or FSA/HSA transactions are processed through my secure client platform.
Your first session (the intake appointment) is about gathering information and building our therapeutic relationship. I want to hear your expectations for me and our work together, what your therapy goals are, and what brings you to therapy now. Typically we do not go into a lot of detail at the intake appointment. I like to think of the first appointment like we are at an open house: we are touring the house together. We will open doors and see what’s in each room and closet, see what we are working with, but then we close the door and move along. In our subsequent therapy sessions, we work together on building progress towards your mental wellness goals while I gather a more detailed understanding of the concerns that bring you to therapy. You set the pace at which we go in our sessions together.
I let this be a decision you make because you know yourself best. However, I do encourage new clients to meet with me on at least a biweekly schedule for the first 1-2 months to help us build our therapeutic relationship and to help you build momentum toward your goals

$125 for 55-minute individual therapy session
