My experience includes mood disorders, perinatal mood disorders, relationship issues, substance abuse, anxiety and adjustment concerns.
I believe a client centered approach allows a genuine experience for both client and clinician. My goal is to help my clients reach a point of internal growth through self-discovery and encouragement. My therapy orientation is largely psychodynamic meaning I believe our past experiences impact our present and the way we interact in the world.

A woman’s journey with body image, reproductive health, infertility & loss, pregnancy & postpartum are all unique experiences that could never fit into a one-size-fits-all formula.
Women carry so much. The invisible mental load often becomes too heavy to keep holding on your own. There is no award for suffering through, although you may have been encouraged to sit quietly and make yourself smaller to make other people comfortable. Asking for help isn’t “giving up”- it’s giving yourself what you so willingly and consistently give others. If you are feeling tired holding up those around you, I see you and I believe you. This is where I come in- It’s time to start taking up space and focusing on what you need.

“I've been anxious for a long time. I used to be able to manage, but I feel like I've lost control. I worry that I'm going crazy, or that something inside of me is broken. I just want all of this to stop. I want to feel calmer and more confident. I want to look to the future with interest and optimism, rather than with fear and hopelessness. I've tried everything, including medicine, but nothing has worked in a lasting way. I fear I’m running out of options, and that scares me."

In addition to specializing in anxiety/OCD, I treat prenatal and postpartum anxiety and depression.
Your mind is constantly racing, flooding you with worry. You don't even know where the thoughts come from, but they can be upsetting. You try to control or ignore them, but they come right back. You're stressing out the people around you. Why does life seem so easy for other people? You're tired of people telling you to "just relax" and that "it will be okay." Nothing you do seems to work and you've never felt so discouraged. You are afraid that this anxiety will never go away, especially if it is new to you. You want to be at ease. You want to feel like you're actually engaged in your life, not distracted and struggling through it.

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.
