Therapy in Missouri & Illinois, Coaching worldwide
Therapy for mothers.
Support for parents.
Healing for families.
You’ve given everything to everyone for as long as you can remember, but now it’s time to give back to yourself.
As a woman and mother, you’re constantly giving to others. Your time, your money, your labor, your patience, your emotional support. And because we’ve never been allowed to prioritize ourselves, we give give give until we crash, so depleted it feels impossible to care for ourselves.
That stops now. Whether you’re a mother looking for support with burnout and overwhelm, a parent looking for help with tantrums and big feelings, or a woman just feeling lost in life, you've come to the right place.
-
We were never meant to do this alone. Whether you’re carrying the entire mental load at home, or parenting without a village, burnout in motherhood is real. But here is hope, and I’m here to deliver it.
-
Big feelings overwhelm your kids…and you. Keeping yourself regulated in the midst of overstimulation and overwhelm feels impossible. Add a screaming child and, well, it’s not pretty. Let’s change that. Let’s work on you, so you can in turn support your child through all this.
-
This is not where you thought you’d be in life, as a mother or a woman. So much has changed, and you’re suddenly peeking through the fog of motherhood, unable to recognize where you’ve landed. Let me help you shed a light on this path for you, and support you in setting new goals and getting to a place where not only do you recognize yourself again, you’re thrilled with how far you’ve come.
I’m stacy.
I believe you deserve relief and hope in motherhood.
I specialize in mothers and motherhood. In an era of intensive mothering, and when parenting in 2025 is an official health hazard, I support moms by offering validation and tangible coping skills for things like the mental load, mom guilt, mom rage, overwhelm and burnout, postpartum anxiety and depression, isolation and invisibility, overstimulation, and loss of self in motherhood.
I have worked with moms for almost 15 years, and as a mother myself, I’m in the thick of it alongside my clients. I am solutions-focused in my work - you’re here on my website because you want to feel better now, so let’s focus on the present moment, then work through the past and the future…together.
How I can help
I specialize in long-term therapeutic change for mothers, and short-term coaching support for parents. My services include:

-
As a certified Fair Play Method facilitator, let me walk you through the Fair Play program so you can shift the mental load and domestic labor at home to create a more balanced system and increase communication and support between partners. And if your partner isn’t on board? I can still help you apply this to your own experience as a mother.
-
Not all women know their path forward. Maybe you want kids but want to prioritize your own mental health first, and feel like you’re in the best place possible to start your motherhood journey. I can help.
