Psychology Today profile

Each of us comes from our own context - life is complex, and I think it is valuable to consider all the factors that influence our sense of well-being. This means holding space for social, cultural, economic, and systemic forces that impact our lives. I specialize in working with young adults and those who are exploring the intersection of identity, life transition, purpose, and mental health. My doctoral research centers on the normalization of maternal burnout within the American socio-cultural context, and as such I enjoy working with mothers navigating identity, relationships, and mental health.

I encourage everyone to first utilize their local library or small bookstore if possible, though if you are interested in buying the book online you'll notice below that each book is linked.

My doctoral dissertation research examines maternal burnout within the context of cultural expectations of mothers in contemporary American society. Utilizing a philosophical hermeneutic and social constructivist approach, oriented from a feminist perspective, my dissertation examines maternal burnout as a cultural artifact and explores the ways in which it reflects and reproduces the cultural matrix. Particular focus will be paid to exploring socio-cultural expectations around Intensive Mothering, mother’s work, and the mental load – and how these expectations impact, express, and normalize the modern-day experience of maternal burnout.  For more information, questions about my research, or collaborative research opportunities, please contact me.
