As a Certified EMDR therapist, I help postpartum moms with depression, anxiety, OCD and birth trauma as well as parents of littles who experience frequent and intense tantrums/meltdowns. Whether we’re a brand-new parent or in the trenches of toddlerhood/school-age, we often put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be the parent we ideally want to be – and feel like we’re failing despite our best efforts. If you catch yourself checking 100 times if the baby is still breathing, are terrified of viruses, or feel like gentle parenting just isn’t working despite following the popular parenting accounts on Instagram, know you are not alone.
With EMDR therapy, my clients often find lasting relief (grounding to safety despite the triggers, less obsessive-compulsive behaviours, remaining calm in front of a severe tantrum) quicker than with traditional talk therapy. I see my clients on average between 10-20 sessions (sometimes less, sometimes more) for a focused approach.
I will walk alongside you as you own your new role as a mom and as your gain confidence in your parenting abilities. Schedule your free consultation today by visiting my website. Learn more on Instagram at: danikhelpsmoms and listen to my podcast: Healing Mothers' Club

As an EMDR Certified therapist, I mainly use EMDR and trauma-focused approaches to treat birth trauma, complex trauma, and parenting anxiety. We cannot talk you out of what you are going through: your nervous system needs to be rewired and heal from inside. This is not just talk therapy - we get to the source of it all and treat it so that you are not constantly triggered on a daily basis.
