I specialize in perinatal mental health disorders including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, pregnancy loss, grief, and identity changes. I also treat students entering or in college (if away at college you must be in NY or NJ). I welcome all parents (new, experienced, hopeful) to my office. My office is a warm, non-judgmental space where we can work together, at your pace, to identify your goals and areas where you would like to see change. Give me a call to see how I can help!
Parents can feel so much pressure to enjoy "every moment" and often don't feel that they can share when they're struggling. If you’re experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, scary thoughts, birth trauma, difficulty bonding or adjusting to life with baby, therapy can help. I also support parents through pregnancy loss (miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR).
I am certified in perinatal mental health (trying to become pregnant, during pregnancy, through postpartum). I invite clients to join me in incorporating mind-body work, mindfulness practices, movement, art, and play with talk therapy to develop coping skills, build insight and facilitate change.

When working with postpartum clients, the first few sessions have a focus on stabilization- this may include protecting sleep, addressing any distressing thoughts, and identifying support networks. After this is established, our work together may focus on deeper issues including changes to identity after motherhood, improving thought patterns, bonding with baby, and building parenting confidence.
