EMDR & Matrescence - Centering the Mother’s Story

Motherhood is a profound transformation—one that can awaken joy, but also stir up old wounds, trauma, and grief. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps individuals heal from difficult experiences so they no longer feel stuck in pain, self-doubt, or fear.

As a matrescence-focused therapist trained in EMDR for perinatal trauma, I’ve seen how this approach can support mothers navigating:

  • A traumatic or unexpected birth

  • Pregnancy loss or fertility struggles

  • Postpartum anxiety, guilt, or depression

  • Feeling disconnected from your baby—or yourself

EMDR helps reprocess painful memories and reshape unhelpful beliefs (like “I’m failing” or “I should be over this”), so you can step into motherhood with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

This work isn’t about erasing your story—it’s about helping you integrate it with more ease, meaning, and hope.

You don’t have to carry it all alone. Let’s connect.
