Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Opelika, AL
I am currently in the process of earning my Perinatal Mental Health Certification, expected June 2025.
I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. My approach to therapy is deeply relational, grounded in evidence-based practices that help clients repair and strengthen the relationships that matter most. My early clinical work was rooted in treating adolescents with complex trauma and high-risk sexual behaviors in a juvenile detention center—an experience that shaped my ability to connect with people regardless of their circumstances, behaviors, or life challenges. This ability remains one of my greatest strengths as I help clients heal in the context of their relationships.

I work with all ages who are dealing with fears, anxiety and stress.

My goal as a therapist is to assist clients in finding their own path to improve overall health and quality of life through a greater understanding of self, relationships and happiness. You are tired of feeling the way you do, and that's okay. It is brave to take this first step, and I am thankful for your courage to act. As a former teacher and school counselor, I have a wide range of experience working with adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression and school related issues, etc. I have seen how demanding this period of life can be and how having the right support system in place can make all the difference.

Life has a tendency to be very unpredictable, even when we feel like we have it all figured out. Sometimes it's helpful to have someone to walk with you through its challenges... or to have someone willing to get in the trenches with you as you navigate grief, loss, stress, past trauma, and hard life transitions.

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.
