Perinatal + Birth to Five + EMDR + Teletherapy

Services

Perinatal Therapy

Becoming a parent is a life changing event that can trigger depression, anxiety, and unresolved trauma. Maternal mental health is important not only for mom, but for the whole family. I offer moms and dads a space to process thoughts and feelings related challenges experienced during the parenting stages of planning, pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood.

  • Trauma
  • Pregnancy Loss
  • Infertility
  • Depression and Anxiety
  • Attachment and Bonding
  • Loss of Identity
  • Adjustment to Parenthood

Early Childhood Therapy

I specialize in providing individual psychotherapy to parents and dyadic (parent-child) psychotherapy to children ages birth to five. With over 10 years of experience working with families of young children, I can hold the perspective of both mental health and child development. This benefits parents as they can learn about their child’s overall developmental at the same time as their mental health needs.

  • Challenging Behaviors
  • Delays in Social Emotional Development
  • Early Childhood Trauma
  • Parent-Child Relationship and Attachment

Benefits

  • Decrease in aggressive and challenging behaviors
  • Increase in identification and labelling of emotions
  • Increase in positive interactions between parent and child
  • Increase in coping as a result of trauma

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a research-supported therapy that helps people heal from trauma and other stressful experiences. Those who have experienced trauma often feel “stuck”. EMDR allows the brain to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories and continue the healing process. This means that you will be able to remember your experience without being flooded with emotion and develop more positive beliefs about yourself.

  • Anxiety
  • Childhood Trauma, Abuse, and Neglect
  • Chronic Stressors
  • Depression
  • Grief and Loss
  • PTSD
  • Violence and Abuse

Benefits

  • Emotional Regulation
  • Reduces emotions, sensations, and physiological response associated with the traumatic memory
  • Breaks negative patterns of beliefs, emotions, and sensations
  • Facilitates healthy connection with your body and mind
  • Strengthens positive internal belief systems

Teletherapy

Teletherapy is online video therapy service for clients who are unable to come into the office for face to face sessions. If you’re on bedrest, just delivered a baby, or need to check in before your next appointment, I offer online sessions to bridge the gap in services.
