Are you currently pregnant or a parent to a newborn trying to navigate the many emotions and challenges that arise? I’m passionate about helping and empowering adult and child survivors of trauma to elicit healing and break generational trauma patterns. I’ve also been witness to the impact trauma can have on
pregnancy

Often when we imagine the process of
pregnancy
and having a baby, we picture moments of happiness and joy. But
pregnancy
, birth, and parenting are like the rest of life. There is often joy, but there can be tough times too. Sometimes
pregnancy
and postparttum depression, anxiety and self-doubt become overwhelming. The unexpected happens, things don't go as planned, relationships change, or grief and loss occurs. If you are having concerns about becoming pregnant,
pregnancy
, birth,
postpartum
,

loss, or being a new parent, you are not alone. Please know it's not your fault, you can get help, and you can feel better.

It can be frustrating and lonely when you’re struggling with fertility issues or
pregnancy

concerns. You may feel like no one else is struggling like you are and you’ve run out of ideas on how to feel better. You may feel like you can’t keep up with the demands of fertility treatments or being a mom and you just want to be a better version of yourself. You, your family members, or friends have expressed concern for you and you’re worried that things may get worse. Your life doesn't have to look this way.

I also have experience with

medications and treatment planning.
My name is Ally and I am currently accepting new patients for psychiatric evaluations + medication management for ages 10-65. When it comes to mental health, I truly believe that getting to know who you are as a whole person is one of the most important things that can happen. You are a person who has endured magical, painful, exciting, and hard things. You are more than just symptoms, and answers don't always just lie in prescriptions to "fix" these symptoms. Mental health is a whole-body experience and a journey, not merely a destination. Using medication to help with treatment is just a piece of the overall picture.

What type of Phoenix mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counselor in Phoenix?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
How to use my insurance?
Understanding cost and insurance coverage is an important concern for many people. With some basic research and conversations with prospective therapists, you should be able to have a good understanding of the best way to afford therapy.
