When caring for your family feels like it’s all on you…
Being a parent can be beautiful — and exhausting. If you feel constantly pulled in every direction, emotionally drained, or like there’s never time just for you, you’re not alone. Many parents carry tension, stress, or unresolved past experiences in their bodies while trying to show up for their families.
A place to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself
Parenting often brings us face-to-face with old wounds and tender places we didn’t know were still there. Through somatic EMDR, you’ll begin to notice what happens inside when you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or triggered—and learn to stay connected to yourself in those moments instead of getting swept away by them.
​
​It’s not about becoming the “perfect parent.”
It’s about building enough presence and trust in yourself to navigate the hard moments with more choice, connection, and care.

How I Work With You
Gentle support for an overwhelmed nervous system
In our sessions, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll explore what shows up in your body and emotions when parenting feels overwhelming or you react in ways that don’t feel like “you.”
​
Through gentle somatic awareness and EMDR, we’ll bring curiosity to those moments—without judgment or pressure to fix them. Over time, this creates more room for presence, clarity, and choice.
​
This work isn’t about perfect parenting—it’s about finding steadiness within yourself, so you can meet both your child and your own needs with more compassion and care.
