As a dedicated mental health therapist, my journey to support individuals facing mood disorders, anxiety disorders and perinatal mood disorders has been shaped by both personal passion and professional commitment.
I am particularly drawn to working with adults navigating mood disorders, as these conditions often create profound disruptions in daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Perinatal mood disorders hold a special place in my heart as many individuals face profound emotional challenges during the transition to parenthood.

I get it, and I am committed to partnering with you towards healing from rejection, negative self-esteem, the pain of living through pregnancy loss and other fertility challenges.
Is this you? You're an adult and you're supposed to have it figured out. BUT you don't. Or, perhaps you thought you were in a happy marriage, UNTIL. Are you getting married? You know you love each other, but you haven't had the hard conversations, AND, you're not sure where to start. Maybe, you always seem to be on high alert. You always wonder: why am I always waiting for the other shoe to drop?"

I strive to provide a place of help, hope and healing. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with all life's challenges - whether it is having (or wanting to have) a baby, emerging as an adult, relationship crisis, or the completely unexpected. These adjustments, the hope, the loss, the exhaustion is not easy. Expectations can often be far different from reality leading to anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.

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.
