TRAUMA THERAPY FOR GRIEF AND PERINATAL LOSS IN SANTA ROSA, CA & ONLINE
Crossing the threshold from panic to presence.
Helping you find your ground, find your voice,
and rise from the ashes
You have come to a threshold…
It’s so hard to make sense of this loss. You have worked hard to create the life you live. Waited till the right time to bring a child into the world. And yet , the end came far too soon, with little warning about the depths that this journey of parenting can bring you to.
There are not many places to bring this heartache, places to bring this pain of body, heart and mind that is so heavy. Doctors dismiss it, send you home, friends may tell you to “try again” without knowing the loneliness and darkness that you are moving through.
I want to tell you that loss is a deep journey that merits wise, solid support from many levels. This kind of loss changes us, and brings up all kinds of wounds from our earlier lives. It necessitates help along the way so you can become more of yourself, not less. You are at a threshold of considering help, and you deserve this support.
Your body is so connected with your baby, and this has a particularly powerful pull on the soul. They left when you had not yet known separation from them. Your hearts beat together. Your biologies were completely intertwined, and both parents’ bodies are primed to be keeping this child safe and thriving. To move from that to accepting their death, to not tending to them, touching them, holding them, is psychologically, soulfully, physically very painful and very challenging to integrate.
You deserve support for the ache, for the sleepless nights, for the anxiety that comes with such a deep journey.
Our culture doesn’t have a lot of markers or maps for this place, but there is wisdom in the alchemy of grief. It brings us to the deepest part of ourselves, and there is gold in this darkness.
Your sorrow is heavy…
The road can be so long…
This loss holds the unraveling of so many hopes. You may have fought so hard to get here. Appointments. Injections. Waiting.
The fertility journey can take everything—your time, your body, your heart. And when a loss happens after so much effort and hope, it can feel unbearable.
The exhaustion of trying to hope again is so confusing.
I help you walk this path, one step at a time, and allow the alchemy of grieving to inform you. One breath at a time, the path forms before you. This is part of healing.
Hi, I’m Jessica.
I help you feel the sorrow, love, the fear, that allow a re-birth into a meaningful, bold life.
You deserve witnessing and help for this important part of yourself. Your sacred sorrows.
Grief is healing to the body. Grief helps us move, become. This suffering may be leading you to the next thing you couldn’t have imagined. I’ll tell you a secret: Grieving fully opens the door for bigger joy too.
I’m not just going to give you some coping skills. I Offer deep presence, weaving together my lived experience with infant loss, effective trauma therapy to help you release panic and anxiety, and depth work to understand unconscious patterns and beliefs that keep you stuck, we find transformation that comes with this journey of tender love and grief, so you can live with more wholeness, more voice, more heart.
You deserve support as you pick up the pieces, make meaning of this life and death, and claim your whole self. Even if that means room for your powerful, broken heart.
I welcome the LGBTQ+ community and Neurodivergent folks.
