The Facts

As sited by the American Psychological Association, roughly 40-50% of first marriages ends in divorce and the grass isn’t greener on the other side; second marriages trump that number around a 60-67% divorce rate.

So, what gives? Why are divorce rates so high and who is most at-risk? You might be surprised to learn that young couples especially in the first 5-7 years of marriage are highest at risk.

Now, let’s think about what common themes are among our younger couples in their earliest years of what started out as wedded bliss…..you got it! CHILDREN. This is not just an educated guess either – researchers have confirmed that upwards of 65% of couples experience notable decline in their relationship satisfaction after introducing children into the mix.

Perhaps one of the most important yet skipped over considerations is that of the mother’s mental health during this life-changing time. Baby blues are not uncommon in the first few days to weeks following childbirth, but it’s estimated that somewhere between 10-20% of new moms develop postpartum depression (PPD). This risk for PPD increases for mothers who experience depression during their pregnancy.

Don’t fret over this information, after all knowledge is power!

Many of us grew up on the premise of love at first sight, true love is easy, and happily ever after. These sentiments are not real-life.

Relationships take work, self-awareness, and a willingness to succeed every single day.
Love languages, attachment styles, and effective communication ARE real and I can teach you how to incorporate these tools in your life.
You don’t have to wait until there is an “issue” to get support; prevention is powerful!

Maybe you’re trying to conceive, are currently expecting, or already losing some shut-eye trying not to miss a beat of your little one’s needs. No matter where you are in your parenting journey, I can help you find ways to feel less overwhelm, less anxiety, and more in tune with your partner or co-parent. Parenting solo? I’ve been there too!

I’ve done the heavy lifting, you don’t have to leave your couch (although I encourage this at least once daily), you don’t have to do your hair, you don’t even need a babysitter unless you want one of course! Let’s connect, I’d love to help!

Relationship Balance

Planning and communication are key to a successful and happy relationship. You don’t have to wait until you’re in the middle of chaos to ask for help. On the other hand, if you are already squabbling, it doesn’t have to continue. We can work together to create a stronger, healthier relationship. Fun fact: your relationship with others starts with YOU. I offer individual, couples and group support.

Family Balance

“Children don’t come with instruction manuals”….there also isn’t a one-size fits all manual for family planning, your pregnancy journey or especially that ever-so-mysterious post-partum phase. Whether you’re just getting started on your family, still considering your options or you’re already deep in the trenches, I can help you navigate your way through it.

Work with me

Create the life you’ve always wanted to live.

As a coach and a therapist, sometimes one of the hardest things to do is to practice what we teach. It’s no secret that doing the work is the most critical piece of our healing & self improvement journeys & often it’s not easy.

Mindset matters - every time you tell yourself you can’t, you will begin to believe it more and more. Be kind to yourself. Change that “I can’t” into “I’m actively working on this and making progress each day”

Life is not free of suffering for any of us. There is often turbulence and unexpected events. Don’t let the storms get you down, sometimes they create opportunities we couldn’t see before.
