Blended Family Therapy & Step-Mom Support
As a member of a blended family myself, I understand that creating new family structures doesn't happen overnight. You're not alone.
What is Blended Family Therapy & Step-Mom Support?
Helping step-moms, blended families & couples navigate the unique challenges of creating new family structures after divorce and remarriage.
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. As a member of a blended family myself, I understand firsthand that the process of blending families is complex and doesn't look anything like "The Brady Bunch."
Is family therapy right for me?
Blended family therapy and stepmom support can help if you're experiencing:
Challenges adjusting to a blended family structure
Feeling alone, isolated, or like an outsider as a stepmother
The loss of the original family structure
Navigating separation and divorce
Adjusting to remarriage
Stepparenting challenges and conflicts
Co-parenting with both an ex and a new spouse
Loyalty conflicts with children
Difficulty establishing your role in the family
Relationship strain due to blended family stress
Need for practical strategies for day-to-day stepmom life
I bring both clinical expertise and personal experience to this work as a member of a blended family myself.
I understand that creating new family structures does not happen overnight and that the unique experience of being a stepmom can lead you to feel alone and isolated. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space to express and explore your own feelings—whether that's loneliness, frustration, resentment, or whatever is coming up for you.
Finding this space to process your emotions is key to moving toward a healthy family structure.
What to Expect
In therapy, we'll explore the feelings and challenges you're experiencing and develop practical strategies for your unique situation. You can expect:
A safe, nonjudgmental space to express feelings of loneliness, frustration, or isolation
Understanding the losses and transitions everyone in the family is experiencing
Establishing healthy boundaries and roles within your blended family
Improving communication between all family members
Practical strategies to help in your day-to-day stepmom life
Navigating co-parenting challenges with exes and new spouses
