Hello and thanks for your time, attention and ultimately your courage and commitment to healing. We all need a little help sometimes. For nearly 20 years, I've been a therapeutic guide for my clients - often facilitating profound change and forward movement resulting in healthier, happier lives for themselves and those around them. I am both a deep and heart-centered listener; and an active and involved therapist.

You may appear put-together on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from who you want to be. Perhaps you’ve been carrying the weight of past trauma, trying to navigate life while silently struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, or lingering pain that doesn’t go away. It’s frustrating to feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still not feeling okay. As a therapist with an MSC from the University of Phoenix (2013), I help clients explore these inner experiences with care and honesty—because healing begins when we stop pretending we're fine.

You’re successful in many areas of your life, but relationships feel like the one place where things still don’t fully click. You assumed that after building a successful career, a fulfilling relationship would be the next piece. Whether you’re single, dating, in a long-term relationship, or considering leaving a relationship, you can't shake the feeling that you're not where you thought you would be at this point in your life. While part of you fears being alone, another part fears choosing the wrong partner. The constant overthinking can feel exhausting, when all you really want is to feel connected, secure, and close to someone.

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.
