About

Life transitions - like expecting, birthing, or parenting a baby - bring your underlying "stuff" to the surface! Life changes can trigger muscle tension, headaches, an upset stomach, and racing thoughts about the most awful things that have happened (or that COULD happen). Maybe you're yearning to bond with your little one but feeling like you're blocked by a wall - too worried, too overwhelmed, too insecure, too tangled up in the scary thoughts, too deep in grief, and in too much pain to be present. Maybe you feel exhausted and drained throughout the day, but lie awake at night with your heart pounding, too anxious to fall asleep. View 4 Photos As a certified EMDR therapist and perinatal mental health specialist, I use mind-body, nervous system-focused techniques to help anxious women and pregnant/postpartum parents heal from trauma, release anxiety, and feel calm and confident in their daily lives. Creating a peaceful household and lifestyle starts with healing your emotional wounds.
