About Us

" Navigating the waters of fertility challenges, pregnancy, birth, and being a new parent can be hard. Navigating the aftermath of past traumas in your body and nervous system can be isolating, exhausting, and soul-crushing. And sometimes those landscapes are one and the same. Past traumas resurface during fertility treatment, pregnancy or postpartum. Or new ones emerge with a traumatic birth or with feeling overwhelmed by parenting. But you’re not alone in this journey. I offer somatic psychotherapy for mothers, families and others who are looking for a whole person approach for resolving lifes struggles. ", As a perinatal specialist, I work primarily with women and their families to help them create a more satisfying, joyful and equitable family life. And as a highly trained trauma expert, my skills as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner allow me to use a nervous-system based approach to helping clients resolve and integrate past traumatic experiences. , You deserve to survive the stresses of fertility or pregnancy or traumatic birth. You deserve to feel joy in your parenting journey. You do not have to suffer alone. Trauma doesn’t have to hold you back or prevent you from feeling whole. I have dedicated my therapy practice to supporting clients in making joy and wholeness a reality in their lives.
