Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Boston, MA
Life is full of transitions, and one of the most pivotal is the transition to parenthood. Supporting families through the messy parts of life has been the central pillar of my career. Parenthood comes with depths and heights - joy and pain, and navigating it all can take a toll. It can be easy to lose yourself in the demands of parenting and the ever-present pressures and expectations. I offer a space for parents to reconnect with themselves, address their needs, and support their wellbeing.
Parenting can be a lonely road, but it doesn’t need to be.

In particular, I have focused on the perinatal experience and how to support women, and other caregivers, through the challenges of postpartum depression/anxiety, partner issues and other barriers to attachment and connection.
For all of us, life brings transitions and challenges. We may struggle with current experiences, as well as the way we are carrying the past with us.

I believe that we all benefit from a place to explore and understand our own story.

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.
