Whether you're seeking support for trauma recovery, navigating life as an immigrant, facing perinatal or postpartum concerns, I am here to guide you.
In my practice, I provide a safe and inclusive space where you can critically examine your challenges, find strength, and embrace your true potential. My approach is rooted in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based techniques tailored to your specific needs. Therapy is meant to be a relationship where we can say the things we don’t normally say aloud and practice the habits we want to build and use in our daily lives. Our therapeutic relationship is the judgement-free zone in which you can learn and practice how to voice your needs, set boundaries, and own your power in your relationships.

I also work with women across the lifespan around issues of eating disorders, complex PTSD, and maternal mental health (pregnancy, fertility challenges, & postpartum).
Maybe you've tried talk therapy and still find yourself stuck in a destructive loop of thoughts and behaviors? For true whole-body healing, you need a variety of cognitive and somatic approaches. My clinical approach is for clients to reshape the narrative of painful experiences by reconnecting to their internal strengths and the body's own natural propensity to heal. Through changing self-talk, old attachment patterns, and learning tools of nervous system regulation, we can cultivate new neural pathways that allow you to flourish. My hope is to offer you a sacred space to be heard, loved, and celebrated for your authentic self.

Experiencing fertility challenges and pregnancy loss is an overwhelming and isolating experience. Feelings such as grief and loss, frustration, and hopelessness can complicate all aspects of one's life. Navigating these specific challenges is overwhelming and answers can be hard to find.

Pregnancy is a time of transformation as changes take place in the future mother’s body, relationship with her partner, social and work life and environment. Parents have to adjust to their rapidly changing world and to a new little human whose survival depends on them. They often feel inadequate because they are not quite sure what they are supposed to do in this new role, and having a baby can be a very challenging and isolating experience. Some parents experience anxiety and depression as well as difficulty bonding with their baby.

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.
