Feel like you again
Somatic maternal mental health Therapist
Helping you finally come up for a breath of fresh air
during the intense and transformative stages of parenthood.
do you ever wonder
Whose life is this and how did I get here?
Growing a family is hard. You’re going through the motions, but inside there is so much going on.
Maybe you’re a new parent hitting up against how much you have to sacrifice in parenthood. You wish someone would’ve clued you in a little on the reality. Maybe you’ve had a long journey trying to grow your family. You might be searching for any way to avoid repeating past birth experiences that were hard to process. You wonder if you will ever feel like yourself again.
Perhaps you’ve been postpartum, basically back-to-back babies, for almost a decade. You wonder if you’re cut out for this almost daily, wondering can I do this? Between the mental load, moments of rage, and mom guilt, it’s hard to even think how you’d make time for therapy. Or, maybe you feel like you’re at a loss with your older kid, and they feel like they’re still trying to figure out where they fit in anyways.
What would life look like if you felt seen and understood?
What would change if you started to believe that you are enough?
What if you and your loved ones discovered more meaningful connection and sense of belonging?
i want to help you get there.
hi, i’m Trina.
I believe that you already have your own answers inside you, waiting.
Skip the story and start where the body is.
I help moms, new parents, and older kids to quiet the storm and grow into the next season with confidence. In therapy with me, we can skip the story and start where the body is. You’ll find gentle support to tune into the body as a doorway to the mind. When we start with a sensation instead of a story, we feel something different, and experience faster somatic relief. We will find and process experiences that are stuck in your nervous system—in ways that aren’t too much too fast, for you to finally heal. You won’t have to fit everything into words. You’ll notice things start shifting in everyday life much faster than traditional talk therapy.
Remember “little you?” They’re calling, let’s go get them. They have a lot to say if we listen.
SPECIALIZING IN:
01
pERINATAL (prenatal, postpartum +)
The journey to becoming a parent and the role itself can be filled with overwhelming and contradictory feelings. The family-growing years can entail a lot. One in four pregnancies end in a loss. Birth experiences can be tough to process. No one is supporting mom’s mood. It changes a person and effects birthing and non-birthing parents uniquely in virtually every aspect of life. Specializing in perinatal mental health, loss, and birth trauma.
02
Matrescence (motherhood)
Becoming a parent changes everything. You brain, your body, your identity, your relationships, your priorities. The word for this development phase is Matrescence, and it is arguably lifelong and not linear. This space is for parents, especially mothers, at any season of their journey in mother (or grandmother) hood. Specializing in Advanced Maternal Age and blended families.
03
ADOLESCENCE (11+)
Is it hard to fit everything into words? Does it feel like you need more and more armor to be able to take on life? Is it tough to find support that “gets it”—that gets you? Safe space to be you without holding back. Specializing in expressive arts, trauma, and self-harm.
04
brainspotting
Push talk therapy aside and experience how eye positions can access different parts of the brain to set into motion deep, rapid healing. Developed by Dr. David Grand, Ph.D. in 2003, Brainspotting is a somatic (brain-body based), relational therapy that can be woven into your sessions as much or as little as you choose. Sometimes your heart needs to catch up with what your brain already knows. Specialized as one of Southern Utah’s only Certified Brainspotting Practitioner.
