You care deeply about your family, and you want to feel close and connected, but instead you may be feeling lonely, frustrated, or confused. You want to be a good parent, but it can be hard if you didn’t have good enough parents. But I believe you can learn to be a nurturing parent and attentive partner.
New parents often experience fatigue, disconnection, or resentment in their relationship. You’ll begin exploring what it means to be a parent, how you were raised, and whether you want to repeat those patterns. Maybe your parents frequently made you feel unsafe, unloved, or worthless.
Therapists call this developmental trauma– something was broken in the attachment between you and your caregivers. The good news is that those attachments can be repaired- maybe not between you and the people who should have loved you better, but within yourself. I offer therapy for new dads and motivated adults to resolve this inner conflict.
Using EMDR and talk therapy, we’ll neutralize your painful history and make it safe for you to feel your feelings. You’ll learn to explore your emotions with curiosity and resolve ambivalence about your upbringing so you can adjust to parenthood with greater confidence. Book a free consultation and find higher self-esteem and greater joy with your family.
