Therapy that gets to the root of what’s happening
Individual trauma therapy
This is where things actually change.
This is where things actually change.
Not overnight. Not in a straight line. But if you stay in it, something shifts.
You want to feel present and connected to the people you love. You know what you've been through was a big deal and deserves real attention. And somewhere underneath all of it, you believe that feeling calm and actually enjoying your life again is possible.
You can't change what happened. But you're ready to take back control of how it lives inside you.
That's where we start.
I'm here to give you relief from what's going on inside. To make room for the dark and scary thoughts you haven't been able to say out loud. To work through what's actually happening so you can experience a fuller, richer version of your life.
The parts of you that have been holding everything together for so long finally get to rest.
Your body finally starts to feel calm again.
Right now it's responding like the threat is still here. Like it just happened. Like it could happen again any second. We work directly with your nervous system until your body actually believes what your mind already knows. It's over.
The part of you that has been holding everything gets to rest
You have been managing, performing, keeping it moving for longer than most people around you probably realize. That took everything you had. You don't have to keep doing it that way.
The "I should have done something different" finally gets quiet.
You've been going over it for a long time. Every decision, every moment, every what if. That loop is exhausting and it is lying to you. We get underneath it together until it loosens its grip.
You stop surviving your life and start actually living it.
Not a reinvented version of yourself. Not healed in some tidy, packaged way. Just you, actually present for the people and the moments that matter, instead of watching them from behind glass.
You start to feel like yourself again.

You don't have to figure this out alone.
We Talk First A free 20-minute chat, no commitment, no pressure. You tell me what's been going on. I tell you how I work. We figure out together if it's a good fit. If it's not, I'll point you somewhere that is.
We Do the Real Work This isn't about talking in circles for years without anything changing. Using EMDR, IFS, and somatic approaches, we go to the hard places together. The memories your body is still holding. The patterns that made sense once but are running your life now. We go at your pace, and we don't stop when things start to get real.
The Past gets to stay in the past not a new version of yourself. Not healed in some tidy, packaged way. Just you, actually present for your life again, without what happened running in the background of every single day.
What We Work On
You don't have to figure this out alone.
You might be in the right place if...
✧ You keep replaying what happened and you can't get it to stop
✧ You feel like you should be okay by now, but you're not, and you're not sure why
✧ You're struggling to feel connected to your baby, your body, or yourself
✧ The guilt about your experience, your decisions, or your feelings is running in the background of every day
✧ You went home from the hospital and nobody asked how you were doing
✧You feel like the only person who has ever felt this way
✧ You've tried to push through it and it's not working
✧ You’re pregnant again and it’s all rushing back
What's waiting on the other side of this work.
✧ Mornings that don't start with dread.
✧ A body that finally feels like yours again.
✧ The ability to talk about what happened without falling apart
✧ Showing up for your baby, your partner, yourself, actually present instead of just going through the motions.
✧ Knowing what happened without being defined by it.
✧ Trusting your instincts again, as a mother, as a person, in your own skin.
✧ Relationships that get to have you fully in them, not just the version of you that is holding it together.
✧A life that feels like yours again, not just something you are surviving.
IReady to actually do this?
I've spent over a decade doing this work, with specialized training in EMDR, perinatal mental health, attachment, and trauma-focused approaches.
I know how to go to the hard places without rushing you. I know how to sit with grief that doesn't make sense to anyone else. I know what it takes to help your body feel calm again.
You can't change the past. But you're ready to stop letting it run the present.
If that's where you are, I'd love to chat.
Come have a cup of coffee in my St. Paul office, located near the Minneapolis/St. Paul border. Or meet me from your couch. Either way, I'm here.
