My Mission
In the United States, we live in a low nurture culture, one that pushes for independence from a very early age. We also live within a culture that expects moms to bounce back and do it all with little to no support. I believe that many are living in disconnected ways without community and support. As a result, trauma and attachment wounding are far more common than most would like to admit. There is currently an epidemic of adult children painfully choosing estrangement from their parents. It is my goal as a therapist to help adults healing from the past and to help parents break generational cycles so that you can be more connected to your growing children, thus healing the next generation.
It is my belief that when we are wounded in relationship we must also heal within relationship - that’s what therapy is for.
Safe Haven Trauma Services
Helps women and mothers with trauma and relational issues to go from surviving to thriving.
My practice is designed to meet the needs of those with trauma and relational issues in Tennessee and South Carolina. I offer a variety of therapeutic services in different specialties with a trauma-informed approach. I work with women and mothers (18+) who struggle with a variety of difficulties as a result of their trauma experiences or transition into motherhood. I have extensive history training interns and new therapists and am always connecting with our therapeutic community by providing education, consultation, and training to newly trained clinicians and students looking to further their knowledge in a trauma-informed approach.
Our Values
At Safe Haven, I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients and and providing education and advocacy to our community. My mission is to help women and mothers with trauma and relational issues to go from surviving to thriving, both in life and in relationships with others.
We provide a safe haven that allows for:
01
Creativity
I believe my clients are creative and resourceful in navigating difficult life experiences and transitions. I encourage clients to use their creativity to find new ways to thrive. Creativity is also helpful in mothering as you learn to juggle competing roles.
02
Nurture
Nurture or lack thereof is at the core of all of our early experiences. I believe nurture is essential for all mammals, including us, as humans. Whether I am helping women learn how to self-nurture or helping new mamas to nurture their young little ones, nurture is vital to our lives.
03
Curiosity
I love curiosity! All behavior makes sense when you understand the context. Some of my clients struggle with chronic shame about the behaviors that have helped them to survive. Parents can struggle to make sense of their children’s behavior and their own. Curiosity allows us to view ourselves and others with compassion.
04
Connection
Connection is a vital part of the therapeutic process. With a specialization in trauma and perinatal care, connection and support is often the crucial element missing in healing. We cannot heal in isolation.
