Therapy for trauma and loss during the perinatal period
In Person therapy in Pasadena and virtually to residents of California
Are you experiencing symptoms of PTSD?
About 9 % of women experience perinatal post traumatic stress disorder (pPTSD). Medical issues and loss during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can leave too much for your mind and body to process. Trauma can become stuck in the body, leaving you to relive the event through flashbacks and nightmares as well as experience high levels of stress and tension on a daily basis. Fortunately, pPTSD is very treatable. It is possible to reprocess awful experiences and move forward.
If you are experiencing PTSD following pregnancy or child loss, a traumatic birth, or difficult fertility journey you are not alone and you deserve support.

EMDR and Somatic Therapy for Trauma Recovery
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is a powerful evidence based treatment to help individuals heal from traumatic or distressing life experiences. We use this in combination with somatic practices to help your mind and body heal. Trauma therapy will help you to learn new ways to cope, grieve and process losses, feel more connected to yourself and others, overcome fears and cultivate self-compassion.
