I work with parents to navigate parenthood, postpartum stress, and those who have struggled with infertility, infant loss, or continue on their journey through perinatal grief.
Do you speak Spanish? Did you recently have a life transition such as new city, new job, new relationship? Do you struggle with managing your mood or anxiety during this life transition? As a native Spanish speaker and therapist, we will focus on learning how to engage in healthy coping strategies during this vulnerable time, how to manage our mood throughout our new circumstances, and build healthy relationships with our support system. Through a strength-based approach, I will empower you to navigate these changes and have improved satisfaction in the circumstances of life.

Pregnancy/grief and loss can be scary and unpredictable, but you are not alone.
The journey to parenthood is often idealized as the most joyous and miraculous time of your life, but what happens when your reality does not match your fairytale, and you are thrust into challenges for which you feel ill-prepared? What happens when your reality is wrought with grief/loss, anger, anxiety, depression, and confusion? Where do you go when your journey is further complicated by medical, environmental, and systemic issues outside of your control? During these times you need someone to help you navigate the emotional roller coasters, cavernous grief, and unpredictability in ways that feel safe and natural.

I enjoy working with people who are experiencing difficult life issues, often related to relationships and/or cultural expectation of who they "should" be. I support individuals and couples who are stuck in a moment of confusion, grief, hopelessness, or despair, helping them figure out how to manage difficult challenges. I particularly appreciate opportunities to work with those in the process of exploring gender identity and sexual orientation, racial identity, and acute life/work crises such as grief, loss, and other traumas, including critical events.

My primary focus as a counselor is helping clients reach their highest potential. Sometimes clients come to me when they are lost and feeling unsure what their next steps need to be. Other times clients are aware what they want their path to be, they just need encouragement and accountability to get themselves there. No matter the reason a client is coming to counseling, I work towards being one of their biggest cheerleaders.

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.
