Hello, and welcome to my site! I’m Hillary, a licensed marriage & family therapist with specialized training in perinatal and maternal mental health...that's a lot of words, but essentially I work with women and couples in the transition to parenthood. I offer pre-baby and post-baby intensives for women, and these can be half day, full day or multi-day. It's space for you. To breathe, to process, to regulate, to prepare. I also offer ongoing therapy sessions for weekly support. In addition to a specialty in the perinatal space, I see adults who are desiring to live differently--with more curiosity, compassion, and clarity. For all of my clients, I specialize in treating complex relational trauma or attachment trauma...often, we find that new parenthood and prior relationship trauma happen to intersect. This stage of life surrounding pregnancy and hopeful pregnancy touches on everything: life transition, identity shifts, changing roles, marital distress, joy, beauty, exhaustion, boundary setting, grief & loss. It's a stage of life where development and change for women happens quickly-everything is sped up and intense. Let's slow down what we can and understand what's happening inside of you. I firmly believe that when we do hard things with support, this builds resilience. When we do hard things (full on nervous system overwhelm types of hard things) without support...well, that's the definition of trauma. My approach is attachment-based and trauma-informed. I pull from Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic practices to work with your body and your nervous system as you move towards space and support for you. I'm glad you're here, and I’d love to help you find space for you and your marriage in parenthood, or in any stage.
