Hi! I'm Maggie. I'm a Recovering, People Pleasing, Perfectionist "Good" Kid turned Trauma Therapist.
I teach a revolutionary approach to healing low self-worth + ALL the ways it can show up:
Perfectionism, people pleasing, self-hate, anxiety, fear of letting others down, feeling not good enough.
I help you understand yourself on a profound and healing level so you can be the parent you needed to your inner child. AND your child, if you're a parent.
I'm the Founder of ✨Parenting With Perspectacles✨, where I teach about Big Feelings + Accountability with LOVE not shame for toddlers + teens + everyone in between. So you can raise kind, confident kids who feel good enough!
I'm so glad you're here!

My Story 💛
Y'all. 9 years ago, I was a mom-to-be, terrified I would screw up my kid. I did so, so much therapy to try to heal myself.
Once my daughter was born, I found Gentle Parenting + it resonated deeply.
It worked...except when it didn't! Which for me was a lot 😬.
Sometimes, no matter how hard I tried to stay calm, Mom Rage just TOOK OVER. I would lose it + yell. Then I felt like such a failure.
As a clinical social work grad student, I learned EVERYTHING from the scientific literature I could about HOW to raise kids who DID NOT struggle with all the things I've struggled with my whole life-
✅ Low self-worth
✅ Feeling not good enough
✅ Perfectionism
✅ People pleasing
✅ Need for control
✅ Self-hatred
✅Numbing big feelings with emotional eating.
With my groundbreaking insights on healing low self-worth + accountability without shame, I created Parenting With Perspectacles, a framework to support parents in the thick of parenting while healing their own inner child.
