Hi! I'm Andrea

I help cycle-breaking moms who grew up in chaotic or emotionally unsafe homes calm their nervous systems, unlearn survival patterns, and parent with confidence instead of fear.

 

​If you've found your way here...

• You want to give your child(ren) something better than what you received.

• You might have been raised in an environment that was unpredictable or volatile, or where your needs were dismissed and unmet.

• You care deeply about offering your own children safety, unconditional love, and attunement.

• You have read the parenting books and listened to the podcasts, but you get hijacked in tough moments and have trouble staying grounded.

• You might now identify your own parent as emotionally immature, narcissistic, abusive, or neglectful - and you're likely still grieving. You're determined to show up differently.

• You now navigate parenthood while trying to heal from the past, cultivate an empowered mothering identity, and also tend to the never-ending needs of a child. You're tired.

• You recognize that old patterns of perfectionism, pushing through, or performing competence are no longer serving you.

 

Healing is possible

Imagine if you had a space where you could focus on restoring a sense of safety to your body and mind, begin to develop greater trust in your own truth and intuition, and learn tools for re-parenting yourself with the love and compassion you always deserved. Motherhood can invite a powerful initiation into greater alignment with our highest, most powerful selves. Doing our own "work" not only serves our children by helping ensure they grow up in a secure and stable environment, but also allows us to touch the depths that this life phase offers us, leading to greater aliveness, meaning, and joy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What I offer

I offer a warm and gentle approach that is both experiential and conversational. I help give context to your experiences and reactions to help dismantle shame and foster self-compassion. Tools such as Brainspotting and somatic therapies offer us avenues of healing that target the deeper parts of the brain that drive our automatic reactions. Working somatically can lead to greater capacity to stay present, mindful, and regulated. Within the context of your own goals, I can also provide tangible support around day-to-day parenting challenges. I will support you in staying accountable to your parenting values and priorities.

 

How this is different

It makes sense you want to invest in therapy that adds meaningful value to your life. I am prepared to meet you at the specific intersection between trauma healing, personal development, and the ongoing demands of caring for your kids. You carry a lot on your back and you deserve support from someone who gets it. You can expect to be met with respect, non-judgment, and curiosity. Working together, my hope is that you'll benefit from the opportunity to focus on your own needs so that you can show up as your best self for your kids.
