I enjoy teaching mothers to know their worth. We tend to be our own harshest critics and, at times, underestimate our value. Out of love for our child, unrealistic expectations, or comparison to other moms, we also often strive for “perfect” when perhaps “good enough” could be a better standard. In our work together, you will learn how to be kinder and more compassionate with yourself while facing the unique challenges of motherhood. I believe therapy can be an opportunity to get to know yourself better. I will help you see yourself through lenses of kindness and empowerment. I’m collaborative and see myself as an active part of your journey in being well. Humor is a part of who I am, both personally and therapeutically, and I like to bring that to our sessions.

Marnie Levenson is a transformative postpartum therapist. She came to my home and sat with me and talked through the significant trauma surrounding the birth of our second daughter. Marnie helped me shift the narrative I was holding onto which gave me ease and peace. She created an intentional space to have conversations about the challenges of new motherhood as well as processing the shock of a really difficult hospitalization and birth. She was intimately aware of how hard and dysregulating new parenting can be (and parenting multiple children).

My approach

I utilize a variety of psychoeducational and therapeutic approaches that align with your individual needs and meet you where you are. Here are some helpful frameworks to understand my approach. - Self Compassion and Mindfulness-based Therapy: develop skills to be less judgmental towards yourself and learn to live more in the present rather than dwelling in the past or future. Dr. Kristin Neff describes self compassion as, “giving ourselves the same kindness and care we’d give to a good friend". - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: learn skills to challenge and change your negative thinking patterns and promote positive feelings and behavioral changes. - EMDR Therapy: reprocess past memories, heal birth trauma, or improve symptoms arising from difficult past experiences contributing to today's problems.
