Support during the perinatal period

​and specializing in the challenges of NICU and medically complex birth.
​
"Welcome!  I'm Judy, a perinatal therapist in Petaluma, California (Sonoma County). 

There’s so much about what happens during the fertility journey, pregnancy, and postpartum that isn’t talked about or acknowledged openly...
Having a safe, supportive space to bring your experiences, thoughts and feelings (no matter what they are) can make all the difference.

Together we'll work toward understanding, healing and creating a path that feels authentic and balanced for you.

I use an integrative approach, combining EMDR,  Parts Work and mindfulness based strategies for developing awareness. 
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
​
This is an evidence based therapy that helps people process and heal from trauma or stuck issues by reducing the emotional impact of distressing memories or issues.

​
Working with our Parts

Focuses on understanding and harmonizing the inner parts of oneself that may feel conflicted (self-critic, perfectionist, manager, people pleaser,  hypervigilant part). 
​
Developing Awareness and Connection and Resilience
​
Skills and tools to increase awareness of thoughts, emotions, and body sensations, and how they relate to trauma and stuck patterns. The goal is greater grounded presence and emotional resilience in daily life.
