About me

Hi, I’m Josie.

I’m a former people-pleaser and anxious high-achiever turned therapist, coffee-and-good-food enthusiast, wife, and mom of three. I know firsthand how easily motherhood can turn your world upside down — even if you thought you had it all figured out.

I work with women and couples navigating the messy middle:

  • You used to feel confident and capable, but anxiety, exhaustion, or disconnection are getting in the way
  • You’re trying to figure out who you are in motherhood (and why it feels so different from before)
  • Your relationship has changed in ways you didn’t expect — and you want to get back on the same page

I specialize in postpartum mental health and couples therapy, helping you:

  • Understand and manage anxiety in ways that actually work for you
  • Rebuild your sense of identity and joy
  • Strengthen your relationship so it feels like a partnership again

Our work together isn’t about throwing generic coping tools at you — it’s about getting to the root of what’s going on, rebuilding connection (with yourself and others), and finding a rhythm that feels sustainable.

If you’re ready to feel less like you’re “just getting through the day” and more like you’re actually living it, I’d love to meet you.
