EMDR & Trauma Therapy for Birth Trauma, Infertility, and Motherhood Challenges
Sometimes the challenges of motherhood are shaped by more than recent events—they can be tied to long-held pain, early life wounds, or past relationships. Whether it’s birth trauma, infertility, pregnancy loss, or the impact of your own upbringing, I help mothers process these experiences so they can show up with clarity, confidence, and calm in their motherhood today. You don’t have to carry those stories into your present. Through EMDR and trauma-informed counseling, I help women release the grip of past pain—whether recent or lifelong—so they can step fully into the kind of motherhood they want for themselves and their children.
How EMDR Can Help
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps your brain process painful experiences in a new way. With gentle bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements or tapping—you can store those memories without the overwhelming emotional charge, freeing you to respond to life in the present.
With EMDR, you can:
- Reduce distress tied to traumatic memories
- Break cycles rooted in your own upbringing
- Respond to your children from a place of calm, not reactivity
- Regain a sense of emotional safety and stability
What We Can Work On Together
Through EMDR and trauma counseling, I support mothers in working through:
- Birth trauma and medical trauma
- Infertility and fertility treatment trauma
- Pregnancy loss or miscarriage
- Abuse or harmful relationship patterns
- Fear of repeating unhealthy cycles
- Postpartum anxiety or depression with traumatic triggers
- Childhood emotional wounds or abuse that affect parenting today
Why This Matters for Motherhood
When you’ve experienced trauma, it can shape how you see yourself, how you connect with your children, and how you handle stress. By processing those experiences, you make space for:
- More patience in challenging moments
- Deeper emotional connection with your kids
- Greater self-compassion and confidence in your ability to handle challenges
- Freedom from the weight of “the past showing up in the present”
Optional Faith Integration (gentle invitation)
If you desire, we can integrate your faith into the healing process—combining the power of evidence-based therapy with the hope and encouragement found in Scripture. This is always optional and client-led.
You deserve to experience motherhood without being held back by the pain of your past. EMDR
can help you find peace, connection, and confidence—both for yourself and for your family
