As part of a maternal healing collective, she empowers mothers and birthing people to heal and thrive during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
You love your baby, but this is not what you imagined! You’re drowning in exhaustion, invisible to the world, and stretched too thin between child-rearing, housework, and trying to keep it together. Asking for help feels pointless because it’s easier to just do it yourself. You want to feel like YOU again—not just a caretaker or a servant to your family. The guilt, overwhelm, and loneliness are suffocating, and you wonder if you’re the only mom feeling this way. You don’t need a spa day—you need support, validation, and a way to truly heal and thrive.

As a perinatal, motherhood, and trauma therapist, I'll help you find ease, confidence, and joy in your unique journey.
Being a mom is harder than you thought it'd be. The joy, the connection... it's just not always there. Every time you think you've finally figured it out, something changes. It's confusing and feels never-ending — taking care of yourself and a child, especially with all the emotions — theirs and yours. You don't want to yell, but you're angry. You feel guilty, but wish you didn't. You're sad and don't know why. You're overwhelmed and nothing seems to help. You want to be different than your parents, but it feels like old patterns are repeating. You wonder will it get easier? You deserve relief. You're not alone. It does get better.

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.
