The Support & Guidance You Deserve
When my clients choose me to guide them along their path to parenthood, I feel very fortunate. This can be done individually or as a couple. I have worked with clients during their decision to become pregnant, pregnancy or loss of pregnancy, birthing process, and through those first several months of the infant’s life.
My belief is that we all deserve more support than our current culture allows. More guidance. More time for bonding with the baby. More time to discover what it means to be a parent. More time to nurture the new parental relationship with your partner. The parenthood journey is a big transition that needs continual, loving support. What we don't need is judgment, criticism, expectations for doing it perfectly, or being rushed back into the work environment. I would feel honored to support you and/or partner on this sacred journey.
SERVICES
Therapy For Mothers
Many women suffer from feelings of overwhelm, anxiety and depression after giving birth. My belief is that there is nothing wrong with these moms inherently. Rather, it is the expectations of parenting perfectly that gets in the way. Our patriarchal culture is not offering moms the support they need and deserve. Yet, how could raising good humans not be the most important job around? Motherhood is a sacred journey, and you deserve to have all the support you need.
SERVICES
Therapy For Men
Men are taught to shut off their emotions, with the exception of anger, frustration and lust. Men have received messages to “not appear weak,” and vulnerability is seen as a weakness. With parts of their humanity shut down and out of reach, men often struggle to connect emotionally with their partners.
Being able to experience your vulnerability and to accurately and bravely share this with a loved one is a courageous act.
SERVICES
Parenting Support
Many clients come to therapy ashamed of the way they respond to their children. Parenting well is the hardest job we will ever do. We don’t always know how to understand our own triggers when our children behave in ways we are unhappy with. In addition, we have not been taught what it means and looks like, to regulate our own emotions, and not “fly off the handle.” Bringing better understanding and awareness to your own triggers and regulating your own nervous system is the main focus of parenting support.
SERVICES
Couples Counseling
Everyone experiences times of rupture in their relationships, but most of us have not been trained how to repair those ruptures. When these rupture’s or attachment misses go unrepaired, we start to build walls to protect ourselves from the hurt we feel. Distance from our partners is the outcome from wall building. Instead of getting into your predictable fights and arguments, a therapist can help slow down your conversations to understand the true feelings beneath your comments or reactions.
