Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Decatur, GA
I offer both group and individual therapy for people on a fertility journey, including experiencing infertility, undergoing IUI/IVF, as well as experiencing intended parenthood, pregnancy, the "fourth trimester,” and parenting after infertility.
For over 35 years, as both a fertility psychologist and OB/GYN with a strong interest in infertility, I have loved helping people on their fertility journey. Are you on a fertility journey? Have you experienced obstacles along the way? Perhaps nothing is as disempowering as struggling with fertility. For many of us, issues with fertility mark the first time that we've wanted our bodies to do something that they seem not capable of doing. Challenges with fertility are traumatic experiences. Is it any wonder why we may be struggling?

You love your baby, but you’re quietly wondering whether you're failing at motherhood. You didn’t expect to feel this overwhelmed or this alone. You hardly recognize yourself — the simplest tasks feel impossible, your emotions feel out of control, and you’re not sure how much longer you can keep pretending everything’s okay. You find yourself asking, "How is everyone else doing this?" If you're grieving the life you used to have or feeling disconnected from who you were before, you're not alone — I get it, and I can help.

Whether you are navigating the raw transition of postpartum, trying to make sense of past trauma, or finding that motherhood is bringing up "stuff" you thought you’d moved past—you deserve a space where you don't have to hold it all together.
My approach is rooted in attachment theory, which helps us understand how your earliest relationships shape the way you show up today. I integrate EMDR to target the physiological roots of distress and provide relief from past triggers, and Parts Work to invite compassion to the various "versions" of yourself that have navigated life's challenges.

I offer both group and individual psychotherapy for people experiencing: infertility; pregnancy after infertility; donor-conception; "fourth trimester" and parenting after infertility; and donor parenting for people identifying as heterosexual, LGBTQIA+, single moms by choice/solo moms, and single dads by choice.
I often hear this: "I've worked so hard my whole life, I've done everything I was supposed to, but I can't make my body get pregnant." So many of us have achieved tremendously throughout our lives only to be sidelined by infertility. Working hard doesn't make our bodies do what we need them to do. This is the stuff of trauma. Yet, somehow we tell ourselves yes, of course we should be able to push through multiple cycles, retrievals, transfers, and waiting. So much waiting. Why wouldn't this be hard?

It is so important to have support to mitigate the mental health toll of becoming or being a parent. I create a safe, contained space to process all of the feelings that arise. No one should have to suffer alone. I strive to hold, empower, support, connect, and learn with 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.
