If any of this sounds like you, I’d be so honored to work with you:
You are struggling as a parent more than you’d expected.
You are an aspiring parent trying to bring a child home in your arms.
You’re grieving infertility, a challenging or high-risk pregnancy, a traumatic birth, a miscarriage, a stillbirth or the loss of an infant, the transitions of early parenting, or parenting a child with big needs.
You wish you could respond differently to your kids, partner, and loved ones in the present moment.
You beat yourself up for not being able to handle it all more easily.
You long to quiet your critical mind and offer yourself more compassion, but don’t know how.
My passion is to help you attend to the pain and trauma that can arise on the parenting path so that you can live with ease in the present moment.
I believe therapy can be most helpful when it’s more than thinking and talking. I leverage the potential of somatic, attachment-focused trauma therapy to bring deep healing and liberation from pain that is often carried across generations. At a safe pace, we can work together to tap into the messages you absorbed as a child, and discover how you learned to carry them in your body. We can shift these patterns and change how you act and react in the present moment. I offer a connected, nourishing, and safe way for us to release your trauma’s hold on you. Together, we will bring acceptance and compassion to all your emotions and experiences so you can let go of long-held modes of resistance and shame.
I have lived all of this myself, so nothing you can bring me is too much. I’ve faced the depths of my own pain and grief and returned to see the beauty of the world. I am ready to be your guide. Nothing will surprise me. All that you are and all that you bring will be seen, welcomed, and loved.
