Therapy for Moms in Albany and the Capital Region

For moms fitting family life around shifts, long winters and the next drive across the region.

Who This Is For

Who I see from Albany and the Capital Region

I see moms in Albany and the Capital Region who are tired of being the person who keeps every moving part in mind. Work hours may change, family members may need rides and your own time may be the first thing removed from the plan.

I live in this region and know it well. I am a mother of four and a licensed social worker with more than 20 years of experience. I bring that background without assuming I already know what life here is like for you.

The Everyday Load

What life here can add to the load

  1. Shift work

    State work and hospital shifts can shape a household in different ways. Early starts, late finishes or changing hours may make consistent family time difficult to arrange.

  2. Cross-region drives

    Trips between Albany, Troy, Schenectady and Clifton Park can fill gaps in the day. You might arrive home already thinking about the next place someone needs to be.

  3. Long winters

    Cold months may mean fewer easy outings and more time inside together. We can discuss how that affects patience, connection and your chance to take a break.

  4. Being the reliable one

    When others count on you to cover a shift in the plan, saying no can feel uncomfortable. I want to hear what that reliability asks of you.

A Little Room for You

What we work on

Parenting stress, anxiety and life transitions are common reasons to begin. We identify a concern you want to address, whether that is guilt about rest or trouble making a request. Goals can be small and practical. You do not need a polished explanation before we talk.

How Sessions Fit

How video sessions fit a Capital Region week

Video means you do not need to add an office visit to a drive across the Capital Region. A private room at home or a safely parked car in a parking lot can work if nobody can overhear you.

A lunch break or after bedtime may be worth considering alongside day, evening and weekend times. We discuss what works around your shifts, while keeping enough uninterrupted time. You need a camera, a steady connection and a place where you can speak freely.

CBT helps us examine thoughts that add guilt or worry to an already busy day. DBT offers skills for strong feelings and clear communication. I use both in plain language, with room to practice and tell me when something does not fit your life.

45 to 50 minutes by video
