ēma therapy for moms and future moms….because you deserve to be cared for too!
Heal From Trauma
Trauma isn't just about big, scary events. It's a spectrum that includes everything from childhood neglect to birth complications, and even the subtle ways our needs weren't met growing up. As moms, we often find ourselves reliving or remembering our own traumas at each stage of our child's development. Suddenly, you're not just dealing with your toddler's tantrum - you're also facing the echoes of your own childhood fears.
Trauma's Many Faces
Childhood Trauma: Maybe you grew up in a chaotic home, experienced abuse, or felt chronically unseen. These experiences shape how we view the world and ourselves.
Birth Trauma: A difficult delivery, unexpected complications, or feeling powerless during childbirth can leave lasting imprints on your mind and body.
Relational Trauma: Betrayals, losses, or chronic misattunement in relationships can deeply affect how we connect with others, including our children.
Remember, trauma isn't about comparing pain. Your experiences are valid, no matter where they fall on the spectrum.

You CAN reclaim your voice and heal from Trauma
How We'll Work Together
Healing from trauma as a mother isn't about becoming perfect. It's about reclaiming your sense of safety, connection, and joy. Here's how we can work together:
Client-Centered Therapy: Your journey is unique, and you're the expert on your own experiences. We'll meet you exactly where you are, with no judgment, allowing your needs and insights to guide our sessions.
Somatic Therapy: Trauma lives in the body as much as the mind. We'll use body-based techniques to help you feel grounded and safe in your own skin again. This can include breathwork, gentle movement, and mindfulness practices.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): We'll explore the different parts of you - the worried mom, the inner child, the protector - to create more harmony and self-compassion. By understanding and nurturing these parts, you can parent from a place of wholeness.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Instead of fighting against difficult thoughts and feelings, we'll work on accepting them while still moving towards your values as a mother and woman. This approach helps you stay present and engaged in your life, even when things get tough.
What You Can Gain
Through our work together, you'll:
Identify when you're operating from a wounded place vs. your adult self
Use grounding techniques to calm your nervous system in difficult moments
Set boundaries that honor your needs and your child's
Cultivate self-compassion to break the cycle of shame and self-criticism
Model healthy emotional regulation for your children
Reclaim your trauma narrative and find your voice.
