Are anxiety and self-doubt creeping in, making it hard to trust yourself or imagine a future where you feel secure and loved again?

Tampa, FL 33604
Whether you are navigating infertility or assisted reproduction (IUI/IVF), experiencing pregnancy loss ( miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, or termination for medical reasons), walking through pregnancy after loss, or processing a shift in your faith, there is grief woven through each of these transitions—often a grief others don’t fully understand or prepare you for.
My style is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral, Person-Centered, and Meaning-Centered Grief approaches. Together, we’ll explore how loss impacts your identity, values, and sense of control. We’ll honor what (or who) was lost and create a meaningful path forward where healing and hope can exist alongside grief.

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.
