Hello and welcome. I help clients heal from trauma, adverse childhood experiences and pregnancy/postpartum stress. Trauma can look like unresolved event-based trauma (shock trauma) as well as attachment and relational wounding (developmental trauma) that manifest in various forms of emotional distress. The resolution of unresolved wounding is important in the healing process because such wounds keep us disconnected from ourselves and repeating the same unhealthy patterns in relationships, family systems and professional roles. I am also a Qualified Supervisor for MHC Registered Interns.
My approach is completely trauma-focused. In addition to complex trauma I also specialize in perinatal, postpartum and pro-choice mental health. The perinatal period is a profoundly challenging transition and does not just refer to the emotional needs of the mother or gestational parent, but rather all individuals involved in the care of a new human.
I am no stranger to the process of suffering or to that of healing. I meet my clients with an approachable, down to earth and gentle demeanor. I view myself as a fellow traveler, honored to walk alongside my client on their journey. I value my clients’ authenticity and emotional vulnerability, and I in turn do my best to embody and model these values myself.

***Starting September 2024! Please contact me to register.*** Are you experiencing the complex emotions and intensity of motherhood? Is it difficult to remember who you were before your motherhood journey? Are you shaming yourself and feeling not good enough? Is it just really hard sometimes? You're not alone. This group is for those who are currently pregnant and up to 3 years postpartum. This weekly trauma-focused group fosters maternal mental health because we can't give to others what we don't first have for ourselves. Babies in arms are welcome.
