Do you desire to live life fully as your authentic self but feel held back by patterns, thoughts, responses, and beliefs? For so many, the journey towards self-acceptance and healing feels like a maze of obstacles and frustrations. When we feel shame, dislike, or distrust in ourselves due to choices we have made or experiences we have had, it can be hard to engage wholly in our lives. This can impact all areas of life including relationships, jobs, health, and overall enjoyment. Therapy can help you find the tools and acceptance needed to heal.

Life can be hard-- really hard. Sometimes, we are just trying to survive and we end up in a place we don’t want to be: depression, anger, anxiety, loneliness, hopelessness. Asking for help is an act of strength and courage. I have a passion for helping others find their way toward who they want to be. I can help you become more proactive, not just reacting to the circumstances of life. Understanding the past. Managing the present. Building for the future. It’s never too late for change! Life can be better if you are willing to do the work. Are you ready to begin?

Therapy is a great way to understand why we do what we do and how to stop some of the negative patterns our brain has set based on our past experiences.

I don't have a specific client that is "ideal" as every client has their own unique history and backstory. I definitely look forward to meeting with people who are interested in self-growth but I also enjoy helping people get to the point to where the may be ready to work on their self-growth. If you are reading this, you would probably be the ideal client since you have taken the first step in just having that thought in your head about maybe it is time to give yourself the love you give to others and focusing on yourself.

Anxiety can show up in many different ways in our life. It can make us work harder to prove ourselves or to have an unrealistic standard for ourselves. It can immobilize us and make us afraid to take any risks because we are fearful of potential outcomes. It can impact our relationships by leading to caretaking or people pleasing. It can lead us to try to control different areas of our lives and to avoid situations when we feel out of control. It may impact our ability to take care of ourselves, including effecting sleep and eating. Avoiding or attempting to manage anxiety can take a significant amount of time and energy.

I understand the complexities of the perinatal period - the joy, the challenges, and the adjustments.
From intimacy to birth, and postpartum beyond, our reproductive experiences have the potential to radically transform our lives. Around the world, seasons of creating, tending to, expecting, and/or grieving life are as universal as they are unique. As a survivor and researcher of sexual and perinatal trauma, I also understand the unanticipated challenges that can accompany the processes of conception, birth-giving, parenting and relating with our loved ones. It is a true privilege and pleasure to support you in reclaiming your agency as you forge new ways forward with authenticity and meaning. ​

As a parent of a spirited or neurodiverse child you often feel overwhelmed and isolated. You love your kid, but you wonder if you are cut out to be a parent. That you are failing at every turn. Even the “easiest” things become difficult and you never know when the next meltdown will happen. You worry about what others think; about you, about your child. You can feel the judging glances in public. It hurts to see your child suffer and struggle through things that are so easy for everyone else. You wish you could relax enough to enjoy parenting the way you want to.

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.
