I worked for 5 years in a day program specializing in mental health during pregnancy and post partum.
Welcome! My specialty is working with women during pregnancy and post partum but I work with a variety of womens' issues. I find that many of my clients are trying so hard, juggling multiple roles and feeling guilty for not meeting their self expectations. Clients often come to therapy because they are exhausted and want to feel better for themselves and their families. My goal is to provide a safe space to slow down, reflect and look at the core beliefs driving behaviors. I tend to use self compassion with my clients to help create opportunities for meaningful interactions with themselves and others in their everyday activities.

Life can be described as a beautiful gift, and it is also true that life can present us with circumstances that seem unfair and insufferable. When this occurs, we could benefit from support that enables us to develop self-awareness, obtain clarity, identify choices, accept accountability, foster growth, learn skills, build resilience, pursue freedom, and feel heard, seen, accepted, and encouraged as we navigate our reality. Asking for help is challenging for many reasons, but being receptive to help can bring about a multitude of blessings. I would love to serve as a source of hope and optimism during your therapeutic experience.

I am a Registered Art Therapist, Perinatal Mental Health Certified and TF-CBT trained; foundations in trauma, attachment (2 years in Infant Mental Health) and family therapy (8 years).
A few daytime openings are available! It's so hard on our bodies and minds to be pregnant, give birth or endure loss yet we're expected to carry on with our lives like usual. People that haven't experienced the physical complications and distressing symptoms can't relate. Talking about our "stuff" is uncomfortable because we often feel shame or guilt as we think we should be grateful or we're not feeling good enough. Pregnancy and postpartum is unlike any other journey; sharing our bodies with another human is hard, being a new mom is hard, loss/change is hard! Remember, you are not alone and with help you can be well.

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.
