I use techniques based in research to help people sleep and new mothers navigate transitions. I have been doing research in the field of sleep and lifespan development for over 20 years. I love to see patients try something new in their day-to-day life and see the negative cycle of poor sleep and bad days turn into sleep and daytime confidence. I also work with people seeking therapy for fertility, pregnancy and postpartum-related concerns. In this area, I have extensive training and experience to help families clarify decisions and address the unique emotions that come with family planning, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.

I also specialize in perinatal mental health and support individuals encountering challenges in their reproductive journey from pregnancy through the postpartum period and the transition to parenthood.
There are times we find ourselves struggling and straying further away from the life we want. We’re juggling daily demands, roles, and relationships, while just trying to keep it together. We begin to recognize that old ways of coping aren’t working anymore. Although painful and uncomfortable, this awareness is where growth and healing begins.

We will work on deepening awareness, building skills, and making meaningful change that aligns with your values and goals - a therapy that enlightens and empowers.

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.
