ABOUT HER
Hi! I'm Blaire, a mom of 2 girls and maternal mental health therapist. I'm originally from New Jersey but spent 10 years in Boston (where we had our first daughter), so part of my heart will always be there (Go Sox!).
Before specializing in postpartum and motherhood, I worked in geriatrics. Though I loved that work (and still do!), motherhood transformed me and my heart drew me to hone in on this population. I firsthand understand how identity-shifting and sometimes isolating this season can be. After the birth of my first daughter, I dove in to learning as much as I could and sought extra training and certification from Postpartum Support International. Now, I get to do what I love - support moms from the comfort of their homes - in a real, collaborative, and transparent way.
I’m deeply passionate about working with women who feel like the journey to or of motherhood isn’t quite what they expected. Maybe you’re struggling with feeling anxious, on edge, or trying to cope with loss or a difficult birth. Maybe you love their baby fiercely, but also miss the spontaneity of what life used to be.
I blend evidence-based approaches with a warm and comfortable feel, tailoring each session to your specific needs. When appropriate, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based trauma therapy that uses bilateral stimulation to help reprocess and resolve distressing memories. I also work extensively with anxiety and OCD.
The Founder's Note

A little more of her.
- You'll love her if
- You want a therapist who will feel like an actual human. One who will give you concrete tools and strategies to use, utilize terrible metaphors to explain a concept, chat about reality TV here and there, and sit with you to hold space for all the hard you're facing.
- Current obsession
- My current obsession is going for a daily walk with a good podcast in. Sometimes it's therapy related, sometimes it's parenting related, and sometimes it's just a fun one.
- Morning routine must-haves
- In an ideal world, I'll go for a walk and have a cup of coffee before my girls get up. Realistically, I try to make sure I have at least 5-10 minutes to myself before the day starts - sometimes with coffee, sometimes with a little stretching or taking a shower - and sometimes it's just spraying some rose water on my face. It's all about balance, right?!
- Favorite watch / unwind
- I love a good reality TV show! I always laugh when a client sends me a breaking news update about Love is Blind.
