It started with the kids — and led me to their mothers
For more than ten years, my work was children and families: as a child therapist, a school social worker, and an advocate in the meetings where kids' futures get decided. I sat with families through behavioral storms, big emotions, neurodivergence, school struggles, and every flavor of "parenting is so much harder than anyone said."
And session after session, I kept noticing the same person in the corner of the picture: the mother. Holding the appointments, the snacks, the worry, the whole nervous system of the family — while quietly running on empty herself.
Then I became a mom of three, and the noticing became personal. I know firsthand the beauty, the mental load, the identity shifts, and the emotional complexity of motherhood. I know what it feels like to pour so much of yourself into caring for others that you lose track of the woman underneath the roles.
So I built Nurture Her Therapy + Co. — a New Jersey telehealth practice devoted to her: the woman everyone leans on, finally getting a place to lean.
