Whether you're facing infertility, pregnancy/ postpartum challenges, an eating disorder or complicated trauma, I am here to help you create a story that fits your individual life.
If you were given space to share the story of your body, how would it begin? What would that story say about love and loss, about eating and movement, about pain or trauma? Our lived experiences impact our ability to feel at home within ourselves and you may be there today. Maybe you’re feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Or you’re struggling to nourish and move your body in compassionate ways. Maybe your experiences have taught you that to connect to your internal experience would be dangerous or unsafe. Your ability to be in your body and use your voice may feel complicated, problematic, or even nonexistent.

Becoming a mom impacts every area of your life, in some expected ways and many unexpected. The impact of these changes can manifest in various ways, from shifts in your body to transformations within your career, your relationship, and even differences in parenting approaches. You may find yourself feeling lost or confused, constantly overwhelmed, and questioning yourself and your choices. You may be surrounded by others yet still feel completely alone and uncertain of what to do, where to start, and how to move forward. I want you to know that you are not alone.

Parents I work with have experiences that might include premature births and NICCU stays, medical challenges for parent/baby, birth trauma/fear, loss over not experiencing the birth that was planned, stillbirth, perinatal/ postpartum depression, discrimination due to sexual orientation or gender expression, or grief from losing the little one you carried.
My passion is supporting parents who have experienced difficult births. Bringing another life into this world is an important and challenging experience. Whether you are the individual who gave birth or a witness, there can be immediate and/or lasting waves of physical and emotional difficulties that may effect your life.

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.
