Book directly in my schedule: marinelabraunstein.setmore.com Hello, my name is Marinela.

I know first hand how becoming a parent changes you. For some, experiences of grief, loss and trauma shape our early parenting journey, and we might feel isolated, afraid, or even ashamed about the thoughts and feelings we are having. Parenting standards today encourage us to sacrifice everything for our children, and to do it all with a smile - so we suffer silently. My own struggles in parenting, including my lived reality of grief and traumatic loss bring me to this work - and allow me to deeply connect with other parents who are craving a place to bring all of their parenting experiences - the joyful, and the excruciating.

Do you find yourself surrounded by big personalities; perhaps within your family, friends or co-workers, that you often feel your voice is overshadowed? Are you the therapist, the mediator, or the advice giver for your friends and family? Do you often find yourself being the one that people rely on but you don’t quite feel the same support is reciprocated for yourself leaving you wondering “when will it ever be my turn?” Do you ever have moments where you’re by yourself driving and you notice how tight your jaw is, or maybe you wonder to yourself “how long have I been holding my breath for”

Accepting new clients at this time: Over 20 years of experience guides my work with individuals of all ages, couples, and families. I work to be easy to talk to and non-judgmental. Each person is different and together we'll find what works for you.

The early years of parenting are wild - the intensity of our emotional experience catches most off guard - we desperately want to get it right with our little people; so the stakes feel high. Conflicts arise as we try to negotiate shifting roles and responsibilities while exhausted, under-supported, and lacking in time to ourselves. So many of us feel incredibly overwhelmed with decision making and day to day life with new babies, and disconnected from our partner because we don't have time, energy or the desire to connect in the ways we used to. It can feel like we are in the deep end, treading water with no end in sight.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or just not quite yourself? You're not alone. In our sessions together, we'll dive deep into what you're feeling – your emotions, your thoughts, and even those little sensations you might not even notice at first. You're on a journey to understand yourself better, to make sense of where you've been, and to carve out a path that feels right for you. Your narrative is uniquely, wonderfully yours, and I'm here to journey alongside you, offering insight, opportunities for reflection, and support as you navigate the twists and turns of your story.
