It takes a lot of strength and bravery to reach out for help. You might want to be heard and understood, and gain understanding of your experience. You might want relief, direction, tools, and to really thrive. If you or your child are struggling with healing from trauma, are feeling down and depressed, or having difficulty managing anxiety, I'd love to help. If you are experiencing a life adjustment, parenting challenges, or are needing support related to perinatal mental health, I'd love to come alongside you. The courage clients have in opening up and sharing their vulnerabilities with me is something I admire and value.

When the the decision fatigue is real- feeling overwhelmed with all the responsibilities of adulting? Trying to find a good work/life balance? Finding yourself stuck in a cycle of being drawn to all the wrong people? Having a hard time prioritizing your life, being assertive, and setting boundaries? Life can feel like it's just too much. You want to do better but when you stop and try, it’s all too overwhelming. You may even feel stuck. If you're a parent, that adds another extra layer of "too much," exhaustion, and stress.

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.
