Life happens to the best of us, and it can be very overwhelming in general. With women juggling more roles, there has been an overwhelming increase in pressure to push through when you may feel like you are operating on fumes. Whether you are amid a positive, exciting life event or more stressful experience, life transitions are inevitable. This is for the woman who may be functioning well on the outside but falling apart inside. You came here because maybe you are feeling disconnected from yourself & others, chronically exhausted, loss in the day-to-day life, and questioning this version of you.
It is normal to feel some level of discomfort as life is happening around you. However, no one should have to navigate a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed, experiencing intrusive thoughts, or feeling stuck in the dark with no way out without adequate support. Does this sound like you?
Feeling on edge, being “snappy” with children/friends/family, easily fatigued with small task, difficulty with being present with your children, not being able to show up in relationships, feeling restless, thinking negatively about yourself, or feeling tensed in your body.

i am truly so glad to have worked with othea. i finally began my journey with therapy in feb 2021 and, when i first i met othea, i knew i could trust her to help me. she’s attentive and encouraging in a way that worked for me and eventually allowed me to open up and practice healthier behaviors. i have seen her almost every week since then and i now feel empowered, thanks to her guidance and tools, to handle whatever life may bring.
