I offer a safe space for mothers to process their own childhood trauma, equip them with skills to navigate parenting challenges, and foster healthier, happier family connections.
Do I Need A Trauma Therapist?
Many people assume they don’t need a trauma therapist because they have never been
through an accident or disaster. However, trauma comes in all shapes and sizes, and
often the families we grew up in can be a source of trauma and pain. Often, the
heightened emotions around pregnancy and childrearing can bring up some of those
old, uncomfortable feelings and a trauma therapist can help support you in navigating this experience.

Can a Postpartum Depression Therapist Help Me?

can help you manage these symptoms and get back to a full life.
