I have specialized training in child development and Perinatal Mental Health through PSI.
Womanhood can be beautiful but also so complicated. Whether you are in the midst of postpartum and not feeling like yourself, or have young children and not enjoying it the way you thought you would, you aren't alone. My practice and training serves women navigating postpartum depression and anxiety and parenting children from infancy to age 5. Many of my clients feel pulled in a million directions. They are facing major stressors plus the expectation to be thriving and doing more. As women we need to take care of ourselves first, but often are the last on our own lists.

Most people seek counseling to find relief from pain and suffering. I believe counseling provides much more - not only a way to move away from suffering, but a way to move towards personal growth and discovering new possibilities. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside another in their journey towards healing and wholeness, while providing the safety of confidentiality and professional competency.

Life can be a puzzling odyssey. I love helping folks figure out how they got to where they are, where they want to be and a way to get there. I use many different types of therapy techniques but mainly focus on helping people get in touch with their intuition and their "true" self in order to get to a place of free living, free of anxiety and full of inner peace.

Do you struggle with adjusting to the changes life is throwing at you? Do you feel overwhelmed with anxiety or grief and feel unsure of what is next for you? Do you wish that you felt more equipped to handle life's challenges and that you were supported as you process through them? So many women are dealing with anxiety, depression, and grief due to entering college, the working world, relational difficulties, or pregnancy and postpartum. Young adulthood can be a really difficult time of wondering who you are and what you're doing with your life.

I successfully work with individuals, couples and families regarding life issues such as, but not limited to, stress and work/life balance, life transitions, relationship concerns, marital difficulties, anxiety, depression, PTSD, communication, grief and loss, fertility issues, pregnancy issues, postpartum anxiety/depression.
One of my favorite things about this process is getting to know you and your past experiences in hopes that you might get to know more about yourself and the person you want to be going forward. My style is engaged, honest and relational. I offer a warm environment where we can address sensitive topics at a comfortable pace. We will work collaboratively and creatively to address unwanted patterns and behaviors that might have you feeling stuck. We may explore new strategies for things like coping, communicating and connecting in an effort to strengthen your sense of self-worth, relationships and quality of life.

Since 2003, I have been working with children, teens and adults who are courageous and vulnerable enough to ask for help managing life-upsets related to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, body image, pregnancy/ postpartum issues, addiction and drug abuse, disconnects in spirituality, intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors and relational conflict.
One of my favorite authors, Glennon Doyle, describes life as being both beautiful and brutal: 'brutiful.' While it is incredible on the one hand that us humans have the capacity to endure the many complexities of life, we can experience seasons in this brutiful life that feel more brutal than not. Whether you're reeling from a recent loss or life event that has you experiencing feelings that are completely new and upsetting to you or you are finally ready after much time and ambivalence to trust a counselor with long-held resentments towards self or others, I would be incredibly honored if you chose to invite me into the process.

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.
