Forming a family can be difficult business and new parents need a lot of support, validation, and education. You may be feeling hopeless, sad, angry, and anxious in a time in which you are "supposed" to be anything but. You may be feeling disconnected from your partner or like a stranger in your own skin. Postpartum mood disorders can look different among people - you might not be sure if you have one, but you know that this is not you. You are not alone! I am an allied, licensed, EMDR trained, marriage and family therapist specializing in perinatal mental health as well as trauma in individuals and couples.
I will work with you on processing, practicing, and building your resources. My approach is genuine, supportive, and directive. You will be empowered to make changes and address challenges in your life. I use humor and empathy to build connections and foster change. I offer virtual visits as well as in office visits for your convenience.
When I am not doing therapy I am spending time with family and friends. I love sweatpants, reading, video games, the beach, and my pets (4 parrots and a dog). Running, sunshine, yoga, and coffee are vital for my self-care.
