Deep Healing for Prenatal & Postpartum Women

Serving Seacoast NH & North Shore MA

Since 2005, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting new and pregnant moms in various roles, including birth doula, lactation counselor, prenatal yoga teacher, and psychotherapist. As the co-founder and coordinator of the Pentucket Perinatal Mental Health Coalition, I have spent a decade enhancing maternal emotional wellness through education, professional collaboration, and support. I am certified in perinatal mental health by Postpartum Support International, EMDR by the EMDR Institute, and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy by the Integrative Psychiatry Institute. Additionally, I hold a 200-hour and 300-hour teacher certification from YogaLife NH and an 85-hour prenatal yoga certification from Pranakriya Yoga at Kripalu.

As an EMDR Consultant, I provide case consultation to fellow EMDR therapists and have completed all three levels of training in Deep Brain Reorienting. I stay current with ongoing training and professional consultation and actively participate in the perinatal mental health community both locally and nationally.

I am a married mother of two grown sons and have a wonderful Golden Retriever named Maggie. I enjoy hiking, snorkeling, scuba diving, skiing, snowshoeing, and spending time at the beach, in the ocean, and in the woods. My passion lies in supporting women at their most vulnerable, empowering them to feel strong and competent as mothers. I am fascinated by neuroscience and the body’s capacity to heal. I also really, really like babies. And humor. I love to laugh.

My Approach

I take a unique approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. With a focus on attachment and fundamental change, I guide my clients in unraveling the defenses that may have been established early in life. These defenses, learned as coping mechanisms, can distort our view of ourselves and obstruct our natural healing mechanisms. By addressing these underlying patterns, beliefs and behaviors, we create a supportive environment for profound transformation.

Often, the root causes of distress stem from old, stressful experiences. I utilize neuroscience-backed approaches and cutting-edge therapeutic modalities to tap into clients’ innate healing intelligence. This facilitates healing and growth, empowering clients to achieve lasting change.

Having walked the same path of healing and growth that I guide my clients through, I understand the challenges of unraveling defenses and the importance of fostering an environment of compassion and empathy. Utilizing the same techniques and approaches that I employ with my clients, I’ve experienced personal transformation, becoming less defensive, more flexible, and open. This journey has equipped me to better support my clients on their paths to healing and growth.

Community Served

My practice specializes in supporting women throughout their childbearing journey, from prenatal care to postpartum and early parenting stages. I assist women facing infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and perinatal mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and OCD. Additionally, I offer guidance in healing generational trauma and fostering positive relational dynamics to enhance parenting skills.
