I have experience working with clients with various presenting concerns, including mood and anxiety disorders; OCD and tics; ADHD; parent-child interactions; insomnia; weight loss/eating disorders; complex medical diagnoses; trauma-related issues; grief and loss; life transitions; chronic pain; and prenatal, perinatal, post-partum, and maternal mental health.
As a licensed psychologist with a background in pediatric and health psychology, I find joy in helping my clients discover what motivates them to move forward in their lives.

With this aim, I view my clients through a holistic lens and support them in making progress in both mental and physical health. I have a supportive and direct style that creates a comfortable space for meaningful growth.

During unexpected challenges in life, you may feel alone and as if no one fully understands your pain. You may even feel stuck and hopeless that things will ever improve or change. The decision to reach out for support is often scary, but an important and courageous step towards healing. Throughout my work hearing each person’s unique story, I have come to believe that meaningful connection and change is possible for everyone.

Supporting women's unique needs are a major passion of mine. Clients seek me out to address burnout, work/life balance, parenting challenges, and perinatal mental health needs. Therapists, entrepreneurs, and business leaders experience high levels of stress and often provide a lot of support to others but lack their own support. I step into that gap to help change that. I've been a business owner since 2016 and know how lonely it can feel. I am also highly trained to support adoptees and their families. I have over 20 years of experience working with children and families. I am a TBRI Practitioner.

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.
