Today, 50% of new marriages include at least one partner who has been married before, and 65% of remarriages include children from a prior marriage or relationship.

Not exactly “The Brady Bunch”

I help individuals, couples, and families navigate:

  • The loss of the original family structure

  • Separation and divorce

  • Remarriage

  • Stepparenting

  • Co-parenting with both an ex and a new spouse

If you’re struggling in a blended family, you’re not alone. As a member of a blended family myself, I understand first-hand that the process of creating new family structures does not happen overnight.

Stepmoms

Are you struggling in your role as a stepmother? The unique experience of being a stepmom can lead you to feel alone, isolated, and feeling like an outsider. Finding space to express and explore your own feelings of loneliness, isolation, or whatever is coming up for you as a member of a blended family is key to moving toward a healthy family structure. I create a safe space to explore these feelings and help you with practical strategies to help in your day-to-day life as a stepmom. I bring both clinical and personal experience to this work.
