Fewer sessions.
More movement.
Relief you can actually feel.
For high-achieving, career-oriented mothers and couples who are done just surviving and are ready to actually feel present and find themselves again.
Motherhood doesn’t look the way you expected it to.
You seem fine to everyone around you. Capable. Put-together. But quietly, something is falling apart.
The anxiety that never fully quiets. The flatness you can not explain. The version of yourself you keep reaching for and coming up empty. You are doing everything right: feeding, loving, managing, holding it all together, and still feel like you are watching your own life through glass.
Your relationship feels so disconnected. Distance, resentment, and conflict feel like the norm now.
These feel like cycles that you never used to get stuck in, and it is hard to know how to break them. You want to be heard, hold your boundaries and get what you need, but every time you try it causes more tension and distance.
Maybe you are excelling at work and feeling like a failure at home.
High-achieving, successful, driven. The moment you step through that door, it all disappears. You feel lost, irritated, disconnected. The skills that make you exceptional at work do not seem to work at home. The gap between your professional life and your personal life keeps widening, and the harder you try to close the gap, the more it widens.
The pressure to be grateful is relentless. The gap between how you are supposed to feel and how you actually feel has become impossible to ignore.
Things don’t have to stay this way.
Feel truly better, not just coping, not just hiding. I help mothers and couples in Oregon, California and Florida get to the root of what is driving the anxiety, flatness, disconnection and overwhelm, and build the skills to shift in real time.
This is not going to look like therapy you have tried before. I do not believe in spending years circling the same issues. I believe in showing up with a clear map of what is actually happening and working towards real, lasting change in months, not years.

My Approach
Everyone is different, so every treatment plan should reflect that. I draw from a wide range of evidence-based methods to find what works best for you specifically. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
TEAM-CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that is structured, measurable, and designed to produce real change fast.
ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, helping you move toward a life aligned with your values rather than one organized around avoiding discomfort.
ERP
Exposure and Response Prevention for postpartum OCD and intrusive thoughts, delivered without shame.
DBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and boundary-setting that actually holds.
Gottman Method
Evidence-based couples therapy for rebuilding friendship, communication, and intimacy.
Maternal & Pediatric Sleep Consulting
Certified support for postpartum insomnia and baby sleep — the only place you can address both in one relationship.
Whatever combination we use, the goal is the same: tools you can use immediately, and depth work that makes the change last.
Specialties
Maternal mental health and couples care, treated at the root.
Postpartum Anxiety
Helping mothers quiet the hypervigilance that looks like productivity and feels like drowning.
Meet Kristina
A Therapist who gets it. A therapist who knows the weight of motherhood and found her way back to herself.
No more talking around the edges for years.
No more leaving sessions feeling like you covered the same ground again.
Real work, real movement, in a timeline that respects your life.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified pediatric sleep consultant specializing exclusively in maternal mental health. Together, we will build skills you can use immediately and do the deeper work of understanding what is underneath, so that the change actually lasts.
I am also a mother, a partner, business owner of 2 businesses, and someone who has navigated her own postpartum mental health journey. I have done the work of integrating who I was before motherhood with who I am now, and know what it takes. I know what it actually feels like, to find yourself on the other side.
I bring a warm but direct approach. I will say the honest thing, ask the hard question, and name what is happening in the room when that is where the movement is.
I believe the first few sessions are sacred. We spend them in deep assessment, completing structured measures, gathering your full history, understanding the real shape of what is happening. Once we know exactly what we are working on, treatment becomes direct and intentional.
I love working with mothers and couples who are ready. Not who have it figured out, but who are done waiting to feel better and willing to do something about it.
Ready to get started?
Let’s talk
Schedule a free 20-minute consultation. No pressure, no commitment. Just a real conversation about what is going on, whether therapy makes sense right now, and whether we are a right fit for each other.
We will get to the root of it
Weekly sessions built around your specific situation, not a generic protocol. Bring the baby, bring the chaos. We work with your actual life.
You will feel like yourself again
My goal is that you leave every session with something real. A shift, a tool, a moment of clarity. That over time, you look back and can not believe how far you have come.
Let’s find yourself in motherhood together.
