MEET JESSICA MALMBERG, LMFT
With you as you sit with all the broken pieces of your heart.
I help people whose hearts have been pummelled by loss on the journey as parents, who need to know they are not alone, and that there is a way to make it through this.
I’M HERE FOR YOU
You may be walking through a big loss, a miscarriage, a stillbirth, infant loss, child loss, IVF trauma. I am so sorry you are here, and for this ache.
Wherever you are on this journey, you are a brave soul. To take one breath in this realm requires such courage. It is an honor to support you in this place. We can make space for your grief, honor your love, ease your fight/flight response, and help you find your steps right now, with gentleness and understanding.
There is life ahead yet. I have walked this path myself, with the loss of my infant son in 2008. He opened my heart so wide, and then it fell into a million pieces. Those were such dark times, and I learned so much about grief, our culture’s inability to be present for it. And I knew this had to change. We all deserve wisdom, holding, and knowledge of the grief realm from our community when we face these sorrows.
My Style
I hold space in the dark, attune to your grief path, and offer insight and relief, holding the lantern for the next step.
In our work, we create a trusted place to go into the depths of your life, your losses, your wounds, your joys, and allow the ground to re-form.
I witness your story, from the first hope to the last breath, and hold the arc of this life with you, together.
We create holdfasts that help anchor you and provide containers for the journey of your grief and trauma, which holds love and praise and beauty as well as the ache and sorrow.
Weaving in effective trauma therapy, I offer relief from panic, nightmares and inner dread, helping you move to a new place in your body and nervous system, with more safety and new options for perceiving yourself and the world.
As a child loss survivor and a cancer survivor, I know the terrain of loss and trauma, and it is an honor to walk your journey with you.
