I work with people struggling with balance, feeling a sense of meaning and fulfillment. Whatever their particular struggle, from interpersonal issues, trauma, changes in life, struggle with identity, emotive control and expression, and self-sabotage-to more extreme expressions of those issues resulting in self harm or suicidal thoughts, my goal is to help every person that I come in contact with build a life worth living. This is accomplished through targeted interventions tailored to that person, their concerns, personality and strengths.

Life is both beautiful and difficult.
Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have built successful lives but feel overwhelmed by anxiety, emotional disconnection, or the pressure to keep everything together.
With empathy, genuineness, and humor, I work to understand why my clients feel the way they do. I consider myself a seasoned optimist; while I’ve had my own share of life experiences, I remain hopeful about people and their capacity to grow. One thing I know for sure: things can — and do — get better.

I have advanced training in anxiety, OCD, perinatal mental health, trauma, and suicide prevention, along with experience in parent coordination and mediation.
From the outside, it looks like you’re doing everything right—but inside, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, and not quite like yourself. You show up, care deeply, and push through, but still find yourself stuck in overthinking, second-guessing, or needing certainty before you can relax. It’s exhausting carrying this on your own. But you’re ready for something different. You’re ready to feel calmer, more grounded, and more like yourself again. Most of all, you want to experience peace without constantly battling your thoughts. I want to help you get there.

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.
