Becoming a parent changes everything. You deserve support through all of it.
Nobody tells you that welcoming a child can feel like losing yourself at the same time. The hormonal swings, the sleeplessness, the grief for who you used to be — all while the world expects you to feel only joy. Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or deep in the identity shift of parenthood, what you're feeling is real and it deserves real support.
I work with all parents — mothers, fathers, and partners — through every stage of this journey.
I can help with
Prenatal anxiety and depression — fear, worry, and overwhelm during pregnancy
Postpartum depression and anxiety — including postpartum rage and intrusive thoughts
Birth trauma — processing a delivery experience that left you shaken or shattered
Identity shifts — the grief and disorientation of becoming someone new
Relationship strain — how parenthood changes your partnership
Parenting with your own unresolved trauma or attachment wounds
The pressure and perfectionism of trying to be a "good" parent
From my own experience
I had a traumatic birth. I lived through the hormonal storms, the anxiety, the complete dissolution of who I thought I was. When my daughter was born, I was reborn alongside her — and nothing the same was left behind.
That experience changed me as a person and as a therapist. When you sit across from me and tell me about your birth, your body, your fear, or your grief for the self you used to know — I'm not just listening clinically. I understand in a way that goes beyond training.
How EMDR helps in the perinatal period
Birth trauma and perinatal anxiety often live in the body — as flashbacks, physical tension, hypervigilance, or a nervous system that can't seem to settle. EMDR is particularly effective here because it works with the nervous system directly, helping your brain process and release what talk therapy alone sometimes can't reach.
You don't have to just push through.
