EMDR, Trauma Therapy & Parenting Support in Washington State

I’m Janelle, and I help parents who have experienced trauma, adversity, attachment wounds or other stressors just like you: ones that have it in them to become joyful, present and calm parents but need support getting there.

I help my clients find relief and re-connection with their loved ones by equipping them with the tools they need to resolve the past and learn how to handle any new challenges that may arise.

Many of our society’s solutions for dealing with difficulties are to just grit your teeth and “move on” or simply improve your self-care, leading so many to feel isolated and alone. I know your time is valuable, and being a parent makes everything more complicated, so therapy with me isn’t about just sitting on the couch and talking about the same problems (though honestly, who doesn’t needs that sometimes?) I’ll get to work from day one to help you reach your personal and parenting goals.

• First, we will work collaboratively to find out what experiences are causing your current struggles.

• Then, we will identify what tools you need to help you get to where you want to be.

• Through our work together, you will have taken control of your life and will be able to show up as that calm, supportive parent you’ve dreamed of.

I am dedicated to helping people recover from the past and become the parent their children need

My training in trauma recovery and EMDR means I have the expertise you need and deserve when trying to heal from the past. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who knows what it means to be a parent working through some things and trying to keep it all together.

I get it, after my child was born I learned first hand how stuff from the past, stuff you didn’t realize was there, can show up in stressful moments with your kids. I know parenting can be so joyful and yet so overwhelming, sometimes leaving you feeling like you just want to quit. So when we work together, you’ll not only get an experienced therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’ve been going through.
