Life is full of changes that can cause anxiety, disrupt sleep, zap your energy and make it difficult to make decisions. Regardless of where your path has taken you, this is a judgement-free zone. My goal is to help you restore a sense of peace and balance in your life. I'll work along side you to identify and overcome the challenges that are getting in the way of living your best life. You won't find a cookie cutter approach here, as I believe patients are their own experts. Sometimes you just need a little help sorting things out, or a place to start.

Anxiety, depression, anger, trauma... most of us experience times in our lives where we are overwhelmed by our circumstances. Whether you're looking to address anxiety and/or depressive issues, increase motivation, want to learn to let go of negative thinking and negative self-talk (we can be so mean to ourselves!), improve relationships or parenting skills, increase confidence or any number of things, you have come to the right place. I've always thought it strange that we take our cars straight to the shop when something is off but we don't do the same for ourselves when faced with difficult times.

When anxiety looks different for every person and approaches are not a "one size fits all," it makes managing your anxiety even harder. We often use tools to help us cope, but sometimes these tools aren't enough. Whether you are managing generalized anxiety, panic attacks, peripartum anxiety, postpartum anxiety, or intrusive thoughts, anxiety is a complex and overwhelming emotion that affects nearly every aspect of our daily lives. As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), my work incorporates evidence-based practices in an authentic environment where you, your insights, and your goals are valued.

I am passionate about working with individuals as they face significant life transitions such as educational and career changes, relocation, marriage, pregnancy, birth, parenthood, second career, divorce, coparenting, aging, grief, loss and end-of-life concerns.
Many of us come to counseling because we are struggling with feelings of overwhelm, perfectionism, burnout, lack of motivation, relationship issues, feelings of inadequacy, self-defeating behavior, or negative self-talk. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to identify and reduce negative thoughts and behaviors, build on strengths, and clarify personal values and goals. I encourage clients to weave meaningful connections between the past and the present as a pathway to positive change in the future.

When the the decision fatigue is real- feeling overwhelmed with all the responsibilities of adulting? Trying to find a good work/life balance? Finding yourself stuck in a cycle of being drawn to all the wrong people? Having a hard time prioritizing your life, being assertive, and setting boundaries? Life can feel like it's just too much. You want to do better but when you stop and try, it’s all too overwhelming. You may even feel stuck. If you're a parent, that adds another extra layer of "too much," exhaustion, and stress.

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.
