Jaclyn Davis
Psychologist, PhD
Parenting can be both deeply meaningful and incredibly overwhelming—sometimes within the same moment. It often brings a profound identity shift, while also stirring up unresolved experiences from your own childhood. Old attachment wounds may resurface, shaping how you relate to your child and how you see yourself as a parent. I work especially with those navigating the postpartum period and early years of parenting—times that can be particularly emotionally taxing and tender. You may find yourself questioning how to connect without conflict, or how to parent differently than you were parented. Through a psychodynamic approach, I help you explore these deeper layers with compassion and curiosity—so you can parent more intentionally, with greater self-awareness and emotional presence.
