Bottom line: Mothers matter. Not only do they matter, they are the fabric and pulse of our society. Are mothers doing well? If not, then we all have a really big problem. In general, mothers are not honored and supported in the way that they deserve (or the way that supports their mental health postpartum). Indiginous cultures have taught us that mothers who are surrounded by community thrive. We must do better. In addition, ~>90% of women who give birth in the western medical system report birth trauma. In order to rise to a better world for our daughters and sisters, we must work toward our collective healing as we (hopefully) make strides in decreasing this statistic.
The leading edge of psychology incorporates somatic (embodiment) mindfulness practices which aid in thorough emotional processing and healing of trauma. I am continuously inspired and awed by the shifts my clients make, so much so that this work doesn’t feel like work at all to me. I absolutely love being witness to women and mothers becoming the most inspired, connected, and thriving versions of themselves.
I offer traditional counseling sessions, which are mindfulness-based and emotion-focused. Simply put, I do what works for the most efficient and thorough healing possible for my clients, depending on their readiness. In addition, I offer Inner Voice Sessions, which incorporate breathwork and somatic mindfulness to help clients release emotional blocks and to connect more deeply to intuition.
