Is this Workshop Right for You?

  • Whether you have been working on your mother wound for years, or you are for the first time feeling ready, this group is for you

  • Terrified by the idea of a group setting? This group is definitely right for you. Being truly seen & held feels terrifying. Especially, if we never received that from our mothers. This will be a practice in receiving!

Mother Wound Workshop Sessions

  • We will take the time to get to know everyone. We will practice attunement to one another. Many of us with mother wounds struggle to feel safe with women. We will actively explore the experience of being in an intimate setting with women.

  • We will venture inward to meet your inner wounded little ones via IFS. In this way we can get clarity on our pain, hold our little ones in the ways they have always needed, and tend to them so that we can be more present and feel less overpowered by our trauma.

  • Our relationship with our mother greatly influences the ways in which we relate to others. We will discuss how certain repeated behaviors lead to various attachment styles and how we may be repeating these attachments with our loved ones.

  • We often fight against dysregulation because it feels bad. It may feel like anger, irritability, frustration, crying, sleeping, and many other manifestations. We will explore how to listen to our dysregulated systems and what our dysregulation is trying to communicate.

  • As we explore our inner worlds through IFS, we will come to know our protectors. Most of us with mother wounding are no stranger to shame. Shame is a profound and powerful protector. We will meet her and get to know what she's really all about.

  • Last week we explored shame, this week, we go deeper. The wonderful Pam Soffer will be coming in to facilitate guided breathwork, inviting us to explore what our brilliant nervous system has to show us.

  • We visited attunement at the beginning. Now we have been through quite a bit, and we will engage in true attunement. We will feel what it is to truly see and be seen by our peers.

  • Bringing pen to paper, we will give voice to our wounded little one as well as our present wounded self. We will write a letter that says it all. The one we wish we could send. We will then engage in ritual to honor these sacred letters.

  • After week 8, we will have two weeks before week 9. During this break, you will access your inner divine mother and respond to your previous letter.

Services

Individual Psychotherapy

$200

I work with my clients to rediscover their inherent abilities to feel liberation, clarity, connectedness, and joy. Trauma disconnects us from these inherent qualities. I use a variety of modalities including IFS, somatic practices, mindfulness, relational work, and EMDR to assist my clients on their journey to reconnection with their truth.

Couples Psychotherapy

$275

If only love were enough! I work with my couples to navigate communication hurdles. As the brilliant Esther Perel said, “underneath every complaint is an unmet need.” Together we will work to get in touch with those needs and with the help of IFS, non-violent communication practices, and mindfulness.

Group/Workshops

Please Inquire - Varies

I offer groups throughout the year covering different topics. Information will be made available regarding upcoming groups.

About

In making the decision to venture inward, to uncover our deepest wounds, we require internal and external safety. As a trauma-informed therapist with personal experience in healing from the effects of relational wounds, narcissistic abuse, sexual & childhood trauma, I understand the need for warmth and safety on a deep level.

My training in various trauma-informed modalities as well as my personal experience in healing from C-PTSD grant me the ability to hold your hand as we navigate your healing journey with a deep, understanding of the insidious effects of trauma. You already possess the innate ability to heal. We all do. Together we will rediscover the parts of you that are capable of profound love, joy & curiosity.
