Maybe you are pregnant or newly postpartum, adjusting to the shifts in your body and identity. Maybe you're feeling anxious, irritable, down, or just not like yourself. Maybe you find yourself in a cycle of overstimulation, exhaustion, rage and guilt or shame. Maybe your pregnancy or birthing story didn't go how you wanted, or your parenthood journey has brought up old or new feelings related to your own childhood trauma. If you are pregnant, newly postpartum, struggling with pregnancy loss, traumatic birth, or maybe a seasoned parent just struggling to get through the day, I am here for you, and I'm so glad you're here.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience providing therapy and am trained in various modalities, including EMDR, CBT, DBT, and other trauma focused modalities. Additionally, I have advanced training in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
If you are considering taking the first step, or looking for the right therapist with whom to embark on this journey, please reach out! I am available for a free consult to see if we're a good fit, and I would love to talk with you.
