I help women navigate anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum concerns, and adoption-related experiences.
On the outside, your life may look “fine.” You’re showing up to work or school, maintaining relationships, keeping up with responsibilities, and doing what’s expected of you. But internally, you may feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you really are anymore. Maybe you don’t talk about it much—especially with family or friends—because you don’t want to burden anyone or you’re not even sure how to put it into words. You carry it quietly, telling yourself you should be grateful or should be handling things better. If this resonates, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep doing this by yourself.

The excitement and hope you felt when you first found out you were going to have a baby have transformed into anxiety and doubt. You love this child more than you ever thought possible, but you question if that’s enough. You’ve been thinking more about how you were parented and understand it didn’t give you the best model to work from. Because of this, you often question if you really know how to raise a child, to be the parent your child needs. Whenever your child is fussy or hard to soothe, you wonder what you’re doing wrong. You’ve typically been pretty confident in yourself, but being a parent has shaken that. I can help.

As a woman, you’re often carrying more than what’s visible. Between relationships, work, caregiving, and both internal and external expectations, it can be hard to recognize yourself after major changes or losses. Responsibilities continue. Expectations remain. And there’s often little space to process grief, transition, or the parts of yourself that feel unfamiliar. Women in the workforce and women staying at home are often expected to do it all—to adapt quickly, hold everything together, and keep going even when life has shifted in ways that feel heavy or painful. Regardless of what you’re navigating, you want to feel like YOU.

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.
