Women centered therapist who specializes in maternal mental health and women's trauma using EMDR and IFS (Internal Family Systems). I teach women to take care of themselves first so they can have the capacity to care for others. Trained during my work at The Postpartum Stress Center, I treat women who struggle with trauma, postpartum adjustment, infertility, birth trauma, infant loss/miscarriage and adoption struggles. We strengthen the relationship to self, build a sense of emotional safety with others. We will shift the lens on the mommy myths, cultural expectations and perfectionistic standards which can cause overwhelm/shame.
I use a de-pathologizing, approach; Instead of asking "what's your diagnosis?", I ask, "what happened to you?" I believe that all behavior is adaptive and "symptoms" arise from a combination of genetic, environmental, social and cultural factors. Once we examine and dismantle a sense of shame and build a sense of self, healing can begin!
Feeling depleted? Like an "bad"mom? You are not alone! 1 in 3 moms will struggle with Perinatal mood disorders. Here you will find a soft place to fall, learn to accept your past and present story so that you can build a future template for healing. The key thing in dealing with postpartum struggles and PTSD is with the right help you WILL feel better!
