My approach to therapy is rooted in trauma-informed and cognitive-behavioral practices, with specialized certifications in EMDR and perinatal/women's mental health.
I primarily work with women, who are motivated to better manage anxiety, relationship challenges, and cope with difficult life events/ transitions. I value a holistic understanding of each client's unique experiences, background, and needs. I prioritize building a therapeutic connection with my clients, aiming to create a safe place for authentic growth. Therapy is distressing at times, and I find that bits of humor & laughter go a long way. Through the use of evidence-based practices, I support the development of healthy relationships, coping skills, self-esteem, and decision-making that aligns with personal goals & values.

The journey to parenthood is often fraught with mixed emotions as many have an idealized image of parenthood that can be shattered with the facts of reality, such as infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, self-doubt, isolation, lack of sleep, and strain on a marriage.
Recognizing that you need help is a courageous first step toward healing. Life is filled with twists and turns. Sometimes we run into a turn that is too sharp, and we hit a wall. Although we cannot avoid adversity, we can learn and grow from it, even as we experience feelings of insurmountable distress. Together we will work toward uncovering that strength and empowering you to lead an authentic life, filled with self-compassion and enhanced by healthy coping skills and improved relationships. I compassionately work with teens, adults, and couples undergoing life transitions, and suffering from anxiety, depression and grief.

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.
