Are you finding yourself overwhelmed, standing in the shower, unable to catch your breath, tears falling without warning? Do you feel a deep grief for the birth experience you had hoped for but didn’t get? Are you struggling to bond with your baby, even though you desperately want to connect? You may be experiencing flashbacks, haunted by moments of your pregnancy or childbirth.
If any of this resonates with you, please know that you are not alone, and your experience is valid. The emotional toll of birth trauma and postpartum struggles can be profound, leaving you feeling isolated and unsure of where to turn for support.

Why should you?

Many have often tried other traditional therapy or personal development and may even have hit a mental health crisis (anxiety, suicidal thoughts, depression, rage, etc.) Some clients simply want to level-up their mindset to further their personal, relational or career goals.

Hello, and firstly kudos to you for taking the first steps (or more if returning to therapy) on reaching out for support! Whether it is part of your self-journey, or to connect with your family, partner, or spouse, it takes courage, vulnerability, and commitment to ask for help. This is especially true within the chaos of our lives and the social pressures to put on the multiple hats (Parent, Partner, Child, etc.) that we wear. Therapy for me is about caring for the human facing me and offering the space where we can collaborate to find even greater meaning and purpose to one's own lived experiences throughout life.

Often times, I’ve noticed that people seeking therapy already intuitively know what they want, or even what their potential solutions may be – before stepping foot inside my office. What they may lack is the support towards making those desires a reality. That’s why my therapeutic approach is collaborative and centered around strengthening your voice and choice in your life. I won’t stand in front of you to pull you in this direction, or behind you, to push you in another; but rather you can find me walking beside you serving as your rock and partner in healing.
