Becoming a parent is often described as a joyful time—but what if your experience has felt anything but joyful?

If you’re a new parent in California navigating the lingering effects of a difficult pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. Perinatal trauma is more common than many people realize, and it deserves compassionate, effective support.

As a licensed therapist specializing in reproductive mental health, I offer online therapy throughout California and have done so for over a decade. Lately, I’ve been blown away by the additional benefits my clients have seen since starting to use a powerful brain-based modality called Brainspotting. This approach can help you process and release trauma stored deep in the body and mind—even when it feels too overwhelming to talk about.
