You are irritated, exhausted, want control over your life, and want to feel like yourself again.

You struggle with getting out of bed due to not getting enough sleep and constantly waking up throughout the night. You can’t remember the last time that you’ve woke up feeling rested. Every morning, you are flooded with racing thoughts and feel like a heavy weight is sitting on your shoulders. You feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster and on edge. Your anger feels like it comes out of nowhere and you feel out of control. You don’t feel like being around family and friends because you feel irritated that they don’t understand you or what you are going through, so you decide to avoid them.

I help pregnant and postpartum parents, trauma survivors, military families, and first responders heal from overwhelming experiences through specialized perinatal mental health and EMDR therapy.
