Therapy for Stepmoms
It’s time to become a happier, more secure & relaxed stepmom
Life as a stepmom can be an emotional rollercoaster
And most of the advice you get doesn’t actually help with those ups-and-downs. Not to mention, it really makes you doubt yourself.
🗣 “The kids always come first, you’re the grown-up so you have to suck it up.”
🗣 “You knew what you were getting into, so why are you so upset?”
🗣 “Just love the kids like your own.”
🗣 “They’re just kids.”
🗣 “Why do you let her get to you?”
🗣“It just takes time.”
Sooo not helpful. 🤦🏽♀️
I want more for you.
My brilliant clients who used to be in your shoes tell me they’ve tried:
Therapy (individual and couples)
NACHO-ing
Googling
Posting in Facebook groups
Podcasts & self-help books
Just “giving it time” yet time does NOT heal all wounds
Avoiding or pulling away, hoping things would magically improve
Taking over and trying to control things
And none of that really helped them.
…Because most therapists haven’t been in your shoes nor do they understand the very real power dynamics at play in a blended family
…Because the advice you get is either generic, too vague, or naively assumes everyone’s playing fair.
…Because podcasts and books are only helpful to a point - there’s a huge gap between knowing what to do and HOW to do it.
Instead of wasting time with unhelpful advice - work with a therapist who specializes in blended families who will be right there in the trenches with you.
Here are the thoughts you get to say goodbye to when you choose to do stepmom therapy:
Stop feeling like a victim of your circumstances and start feeling in control of your happiness.
In just a few months, you could be:
✨Looking forward to family time rather than hiding in your room.
✨ Dealing with triggers without losing your cool and then feeling bad later.
✨ Finally feeling like you’re on the same team as your partner.
✨ Setting boundaries that actually stick.
✨ Letting go of resentment and focusing on what makes you happy.
✨ Feeling connected to your family and at peace with your role.
TRUE happiness. Freedom to be yourself. Peace and connection in your home.
That is what I’m saying is available to you, now, today.
A blended family therapist who actually gets it.
There’s a huge difference between talking to a therapist who intellectually understands the stress of stepmom life—and one who’s actually been there.
I’ve been a stepmom for a loooong time. I know the silent sacrifices, the unacknowledged labor, the way you either try to make yourself smaller or try to take over to keep the peace.
In therapy, I help you stop outsourcing your worth to how the kids or your partner treat you. I help you separate your identity from the chaos around you. I help you get back to the version of you who isn’t just surviving—but actually living.
What therapy looks like
I work with clients in weekly or biweekly 50-minute sessions, all conducted online. We’ll start with a full intake where I get to know your story, your goals, and what success looks like for you. From there, we’ll create a plan that’s personalized, practical, and grounded in evidence-based care.
In our work together, you’ll get:
A space to be honest about the hard stuff
Tools to help you feel more in control of your emotions and reactions
Clear steps for changing stuck dynamics in your relationship
Support that’s warm, direct, and trauma-informed
