After surviving painful experiences, you might be constantly worried, fearful, tense, panicked, and restless. You might be struggling with racing thoughts, an upset stomach, an aching head, and a tight chest that make it difficult to feel grounded throughout the day or to fall asleep at night. You might be feeling mentally and physically stuck in the upsetting memories. You might be feeling trapped in a swirl of scary thoughts about every awful thing that could possibly happen to you or to your little one. Difficult experiences from the past or difficult experiences that happen during your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum period can block you from bonding with your new baby, adjusting to your new role, and feeling confident in yourself in this life chapter. You know that you want to be a gentle, intentional, values-focused parent who creates a peace-filled household where your child can thrive, but the fear, stress, and overwhelm are making you doubt your capabilities...

I'M HERE TO HELP
As an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist and perinatal mental health specialist, I use mind-body approaches to help anxious women, pregnant and postpartum people, and parents of young children heal from trauma, release anxiety, and feel peaceful in their daily lives and restful as they go to sleep at night. Together we will explore the impact of painful past experiences on your current self, build up coping and relaxation skills, engage in trauma recovery and anxiety-release exercises that will help your mind and body ease into a state of peace, and help you develop compassionate and empowering beliefs about yourself. We'll highlight and celebrate your strengths and the ways that you are living in alignment with your values.

I offer EMDR therapy focused on trauma, anxiety disorders, and perinatal mental health in-person in Long Beach and online throughout California. I charge $200 per 50-minute session; if your insurance plan has out-of-network benefits you'd like to use, I will use a service called Mentaya Health to submit superbills (which are like receipts for therapy sessions) to your insurance provider and assist you in obtaining your reimbursement for the session fees.

Morning and afternoon appointments are available in-person and online, Monday-Friday. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation phone call so we can discuss the support you're needing and how I can help!
