Alyson Dupuis (Rigo)
(She/Her/Hers)
BA, RP
You are the woman who does it all. The one who shows up, who takes care of everything and everyone, who keeps life moving forward. On the outside, you seem strong, capable, even unstoppable. But inside? You’re exhausted. You feel stretched so thin that you barely recognize yourself.
Maybe motherhood has consumed you in ways you never expected—the invisible load of organizing, anticipating, and holding everything together weighs on you daily. You love your children, but somewhere along the way, you got lost. The woman you once were, the dreams you had, the things that once brought you joy—they all feel distant, like a life you barely remember.
Or maybe you’re a high-achieving woman who has spent years climbing, striving, proving yourself, only to realize you feel disconnected and unfulfilled. You wonder why success doesn’t feel as good as you thought it would, why the things that once lit you up now feel empty. You keep pushing, hoping that if you just work harder, stay busy enough, you won’t have to face the gnawing feeling that something is missing.
And then there’s grief. The kind that comes from loss—loss of a loved one, loss of a relationship, loss of the woman you used to be. The kind of grief that lingers, shifting between sadness, anger, and numbness, leaving you wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again.
I see you. I know how much you carry. And you don’t have to do this alone.
In therapy, we create a space that is just for you—a place where you can set down the weight of expectations, the mental load, the grief, the exhaustion. Together, we’ll make sense of the thoughts and emotions that feel too heavy to carry alone. We’ll work to untangle the beliefs and pressures that have kept you feeling stuck, and we’ll find ways to reconnect with the parts of you that have been waiting to be seen again.
Using approaches like mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), we’ll tailor our work to fit your needs, your struggles, and your hopes for yourself. Because you deserve more than just surviving—you deserve to thrive.
As a wife, mother of three boys, and business owner, I understand the relentless pressure to be everything to everyone. I know the struggle of trying to balance ambition with self-care, love with loss, success with meaning. I also know that healing is possible—that even in the busiest, hardest seasons of life, there are ways to reclaim yourself.
When I’m not working, I find solace in nature, in yoga, in a quiet moment with a book, in the simple joy of movement through dance. These remind me, and the women I work with, that healing isn’t about doing more—it’s about making space for yourself.
If you’re ready to take that first step toward feeling like you again, I’m here. Let’s walk this path together.
