I work with all types of trauma but also specialize in working with all types of mother child relationships. This includes adult relationships with adult mothers, questioning motherhood due to your relationship with your mother, fertility struggles, as well as pregnancy, postpartum and all parts of the perinatal transformation. I also work with mothers struggling with mom guilt, difficult feelings around motherhood such as thoughts about not being good enough, and struggles as a mother after the postpartum period. I support women who have experienced labor/birth trauma or traumas during the perinatal period with somatic and other trauma techniques such a EMDR.
Couples work- I also work with couples and work to clear trauma or old experiences that are causing conflict in the relationship, usually using techniques such as EMDR in either individual or joint sessions. I work with couples during the prenatal period either before conceiving, during fertility struggles and also during pregnancy to prepare for the changes coming to the relationship. I also work with couples after having kids navigating the new relationship dynamics and struggles that can come up during this time.
I believe everyone already has the wisdom inside to heal but sometimes layers of trauma or pain can make it difficult to do so without support, and often causes symptoms such as anxiety and depression or even panic attacks. I work with you to process traumas that can block the feeling of safety, content and happiness inside. I am trained in EMDR (an evidence based trauma therapy tool) that is used to process and heal traumas so that the system can rest and no longer has to fight to protect against the pain, fear, and nervous system dysregulation. We will work together to identify which traumas, or life experiences, such as childhood trauma, sexual abuse, relationship experiences and many other possible causes are contributing to current symptoms you are having. We will use EMDR as well as somatic therapy and will work with your nervous system to heal. Many people often come to me after being in talk therapy for years, which they greatly benefitted from, but also are still struggling with symptoms and want to do some deeper work with the nervous system.
I am here to help support you through this process of healing by creating a safe warm relationship so you feel comfortable in therapy and feel safe enough to heal. I use the combination of a holistic/ mindfulness approach encompassing the mind/body/spirit and also an evidence based- scientific approach to healing in order to get the best results possible.
