I work with pregnant and postpartum women who are dealing with depression and/or anxiety.
Navigating the new normal, going through life changes, pregnant, have a newborn, loved ones lost, jobs furloughed, balancing all your new responsibilities of providing for your family, teaching your children, feeling isolated from other people and not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel are just some of the stressors that most people are dealing with right now. You are not alone. WE CAN'T CONTROL THE WINDS BUT WE CAN ADJUST OUR SAILS. Therapy can provide you with effective/powerful skills to help you feel peace, content and balance in your life. I offer individual, marital and group (perinatal) therapy.

The impact that a life-changing diagnosis can have on individuals and their families can be profound. It can feel like a betrayal when our bodies don’t allow us to live our lives the way we expect, impacting our relationships, careers, and hopes. How can we move forward in life when it feels like our bodies are holding us back? How do we grieve our hopes and dreams while trying to fully understand how they are affected by our new circumstances? How do we do all of this while trying to navigate a medical system that often leaves us feeling unheard and unseen?

Waitlist for new clients
My goal is to help you improve your relationship to yourself, and feel more comfortable and confident with who you are. Those seeking therapy have the awareness that something is not sitting right as well as the initiative to do something about it. In beginning this process, it can be easy to second-guess, to diminish our problems or feel that we "have nothing to complain about." I believe that there is no worry that does not deserve to be heard and talked through; everyone has the right to feel better, and that is something we can work toward together.

In a rapidly changing world, one can find it challenging to deal with feeling mad, afraid, sad or even glad! My aim is to help alleviate that pain. I use an integrative approach to understand your life experiences, feelings, and the reason for seeking counsel. I believe each person already has in them the potential to grow. A personal transformation through the process of psychotherapy can help facilitate this growth. Eventually, this will give you a greater understanding of yourself, others and the world around you.

You try so hard to always do the right thing. Take people’s advice, follow orders, and not rock the boat. But no matter how hard you try, you still feel like you’re failing. Everyone seems to have it all figured out except you. And you’re somehow separated from them by an indefinable quality. You simply don’t fit in with the crowd, and you suspect your racial and cultural background has something to do with it. People treat you differently, and you just go along because you don’t want to make waves. But every day you feel more inauthentic, inadequate, and isolated. You wish there were some other way to live, but you don’t know how.

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.
