I am passionate about working with women who are pregnant, postpartum, or experiencing infertility or loss. The journey of bringing new life into this world is a tender time for women. The isolation, hormonal changes, and unknown can lead to feeling overwhelmed and underseen. I know. You are not alone. Together we will work to restore your balance and confidence. I'm also deeply passionate about working with partners and children of first responders; those healing from trauma, or managing depression or anxiety; parents seeking to increase connection with their children; and supporting children/teens as they navigate life.

I honor the courage it takes to ask for help and recognize that each person has their own unique needs in their perinatal or parenting experience.
Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself since being on your parenting journey? Do you feel exhausted and overwhelmed just getting through the day? Do you question when you will feel better or feel more like yourself again? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Now more than ever, from the struggles of infertility, pregnancy, birth trauma, loss, or the transition to postpartum, people are feeling overwhelmed, anxious and uncertain about their parenting journey. Pushing aside your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long term impacts on both the mind and body.

My focus is on women experiencing infertility, perinatal loss and postpartum depression and I am certified in perinatal mental health.
As you start on the path to motherhood are you feeling anxious, sad, perhaps ashamed or just not yourself? And asking yourself, why do I feel this way? It can be frustrating, draining, overwhelming, and at times heartbreaking. This is likely not how you thought it would be. It feels like it should be a natural, seamless process filled with joyous moments. Unfortunately, it's often not the reality and I am here to support you regardless of where you are in this journey. Imagine how it would feel to be the best version of yourself. To enter motherhood feeling confident, happy, and calm. Together we will get you there.

I work with a broad range of issues including depression, anxiety, and trauma and have specialized training related to pregnancy, postpartum and the stress that comes with being a parent.
Life is full of transitions; while some are seamless and easily integrated, others can feel like an unravelling. I believe this is where some of our greatest growth moments can occur. When life is harder than you’d imagined, or different from what you expected, it can feel incredibly isolating and overwhelming. The good news is you don’t have to do it alone. I see my role as helping you to identify the areas you're stuck and guiding you, in a collaborative way, to discover your own inner resources.

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.
