Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Alamo, CA
I specialize in women's issues, postpartum depression & anxiety, parenting, teens, anxiety, depression and trauma.
Many of my clients struggle with the strong urge to please others at their own expense. They fear disappointing their loved ones and losing these relationships. They aren't able to live authentically, feel unnecessary guilt and are stuck in a cycle of seeking approval & acceptance. This causes inner conflict, chronic stress, low self esteem and even irritability & resentment. If you have difficulty saying 'no", over committing and neglecting your own needs, you are likely suffering from people-pleasing. Remember, you can be a good person and still say "no".

Becoming a parent is a unique and transformative experience. From the moment of conception through the journey of parenting there is an array of unknown rewards, challenges and experiences. At times parents have no idea how they will feel or react to these challenges and realize that they need help and support through their own journey as parents. This journey might include understanding the way people perceive and relate to their own internal child as well. Research proves the way we were parented, the environment in which we developed, and the situations around us influence the way we feel and behave as parents and human beings.

Lately, the anxiety is starting to get the best of you. You find yourself overthinking every little thing, and often worry that you’re not where you thought you’d be in life. You're a woman who wants to understand herself better: how you're showing up in relationships, who "you" are outside of your responsibilities, and what gets in the way of feeling more connected within yourself and with others. You know life doesn’t have to feel like this, but with everything going on—it hasn't felt possible to find the time, space, and skills you need to create change. But now you’re ready to move beyond what's holding you back.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?
In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
