A peaceful space for moms and professional women to rest, reflect, and heal—reconnecting with your identity and self-worth with clarity and care.

I provide in-person sessions in my Pasadena office and secure online therapy across California — so you can choose what feels most supportive and convenient for you.

You’re Holding It All Together — And the Pain Feels Invisible

As a high-achieving professional mom, you’re used to pushing through. You manage deadlines, care for others, and hold everything together — even when you’re falling apart inside. But lately, things feel different.

Maybe you’re navigating the emotional fog of postpartum anxiety and trauma, silently overwhelmed by the pressures of motherhood. Or perhaps you’re reeling from the shock of infidelity — trying to make sense of betrayal while still showing up for everyone else.

This is a space where you don’t have to be “on.” Where you can show up exactly as you are — anxious, heartbroken, exhausted — and be met with care, clarity, and compassion.

Together, we’ll untangle the emotional chaos, explore what healing looks like for you, and gently guide you back to a life that feels peaceful, grounded, and more connected — to yourself, and to what matters most.

Areas of Focus

Anxiety

 Identity

Overwhelm, Stress and Burnout

If you’re not sure whether these fit what you’re going through, that’s okay — we can talk about it in a free consultation.

Founder & Psychotherapist

Hi, i’m EliZabeth

Reaching out isn’t easy — especially when you’re used to holding it all together. As a therapist, I work with high-achieving professional moms facing postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, overwhelm, and the heartbreak of infidelity.

You’ll find a calm, thoughtful space here — with someone who listens deeply, notices what’s unspoken, and helps you untangle what feels heavy. I’m here to support you with patience, clarity, and compassion as you move toward healing and reconnecting with yourself.

Motherhood and Identity Therapy

Reconnect with Yourself Beyond the Roles You Fill

Relationship and Life Transition Therapy

Whether you’re experiencing strain in your relationship, facing infidelity, going through a separation/divorce, or adjusting to major life changes, this therapy helps you process, heal, and move forward with clarity and strength.

Trauma and Emotional Wellness Therapy

Heal the Wounds You Carry—Seen and Unseen
For moms coping with anxiety, grief, birth trauma, or unresolved emotional pain, this therapy provides a safe space for processing trauma and reclaiming your emotional well-being. Grounded in trauma-informed care, we’ll work together to restore calm, resilience, and inner stability.

Next Steps

If you decide that you would like to pursue therapy and counseling with me, we will schedule you for an intake session and you will receive an email with new client paperwork that you can fill out electronically through a confidential client portal.  You will be provided with a welcome packet that will serve as your guide and help you along the therapy process when working with me.  Therapy sessions will be held weekly at the appointment time established during the initial consultation.

Common Questions

Shouldn’t I just be able to work through these issues on my own?

Navigating stress, overwhelm and other changes in life in a healthy way is important for your mental wellbeing, your physical health and your relationships with others. Enlisting the help of a therapist will help you discover your own inner strengths so that you can gain the coping mechanisms and strategies you need to navigate your moments of struggle and instead experience moments of peace, joy and serenity.

I am currently unable to attend in-person sessions and have a chaotic schedule, how will I be able to schedule appointments?

For your convenience, I currently hold 50 percent of my appointments through virtual online telehealth.  You can attend sessions from the comfort of your own home, your office, or your car via our secure telehealth online portal and as long as you are in a confidential space.  Online therapy and counseling is available to all people residing throughout the state of California.  In addition, I have a limited amount of in-person appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

What is the investment cost of therapy?

Your investment in therapy is invaluable and will reward you with lifelong positive coping strategies that will have an extraordinary effect on your mental and emotional wellness. The initial intake session is $270.  All subsequent 45-minute sessions are $245.  Although, I do not take insurance, I can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance if necessary.  Cash, credit card, and health expense card payments accepted.  Please check with your insurance provider for reimbursement amounts or health expense card restrictions.
