In addition to specializing in perinatal support, anxiety, and depression, I'm also deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate trauma, addiction, grief, and life transitions.
Healing is a collaborative journey where each person holds the wisdom and strength to create meaningful change in their life. I work with individuals who feel disconnected—overwhelmed by life transitions, trauma, or identity shifts like new parenthood. They may be struggling with anxiety, burnout, or grief, and are searching for clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to themselves. Their goals often include building confidence, setting healthy boundaries, and breaking old patterns. They're ready for meaningful change because they know they deserve more than just getting by—they want to feel whole, grounded, and empowered.

With specialties in trauma, eating disorders and perinatal disorders, my role is to help you tell the story of what it has meant to be you.
If you were given space to share the story of your body, how would it begin? What would that story say about love and loss, about eating and movement, about pain or trauma? Our lived experiences impact our ability to feel at home within ourselves and you may be there today. Maybe you’re feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Or you’re struggling to nourish and move your body in compassionate ways. Maybe your experiences have taught you that connecting to your internal experience would be dangerous or unsafe. Your ability to be in your body and use your voice may feel complicated, problematic, or even nonexistent.

Postpartum.
You've lost sleep too many nights thinking about how this wasn't "the Mom I wanted to be." There are so many things on your mind to concentrate on, but what comes up the most is wondering if life will always be like this? Even though you care for everyone else in your life, you're unsure of how to take care of yourself - or where to even start.
Maybe you were hoping you could talk to the people in your life, but "they won't understand" or worse there's concern they may judge you for it. After trying so many things and none of them lasting you've decided to do something different.

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.
