About Me

Welcome. I’m so glad you are here. I’m a therapist, but I’m also a mom just like you. I know what it’s like to not feel like myself postpartum. I also know what it’s like to experience the impact of trauma throughout parenthood. It’s not easy to feel out of control or not present when you have others depending on you.

However you are feeling today, I want to give you hope that it can get better. You don’t have to settle for feeling panicked or constantly worried and on edge. You don’t have to settle for feeling spaced out, detached, and irritable. You don’t have to settle for nightmares, lack of sleep, feeling like things will never get better, or just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

These are trauma symptoms, and I utilize evidence-based EMDR therapy, combined with compassionate talk therapy, to help you feel present, grounded, peaceful, and happy with your life after going through trauma.

It was through my own parenthood journey, combined with over 7 years experience working with highly traumatized individuals that I came to specialize in maternal mental health and trauma.

I have had the privilege of working with moms who have been through the trauma of birth, infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, the loss of a child, their own childhood trauma, and postpartum depression and anxiety.

In my therapy practice, authenticity is key. We are not perfect moms and we will never be perfect moms, so we need to just be honest. I promise you, there is NOTHING you could say that will surprise me. Everyday I have moms in my office telling me their darkest thoughts, feelings, and “not proud” moments.

I wish I could gather you all in a room together to prove that what you are feeling is NORMAL!

In my office, I welcome all your emotions from the tears, to the anger, to regret, to guilt, and even humor.

When I’m not in therapy mode, you will find me doing my best to keep up with my VERY energetic children or spending time with my amazing husband (that is, if we are actually coherent by the time we get the kids to bed).

In our past life, my husband and I loved to travel, have wine and sushi nights, watch Parks and Rec, and find the best coffee wherever we went. These days, there’s little less of that (except the coffee part), but we still love spending time together.

When I have some alone time, I love drinking my coffee hot, having time to reflect, walks with my sister or a friend, time to read or do a training, or watching reality tv with some Thai food.
