I am certified as a perinatal mental health therapist and have worked with moms with a various of concerns including anxiety, depression, identity confusion, rage, grief, navigating partner challenges (default parent, resentment, communication), and boundary setting.
When you enter your motherhood experience there are often feelings of uncertainty, guilt, frustration, confusion, anxiety, and sadness. The rollercoaster of emotions is common, but does not have to be your "forever" as a parent. Many of the moms I meet with are searching for a place where they can feel validated, but also want actionable steps they can use to improve their thinking patterns (negative self talk, self doubt, inner critic, intrusive thoughts), and their also manage their feelings about becoming a mom. You deserve to feel better and feel confident as a mom!

Are you a burned out parent who is desperately trying to parent the "right" way, but you feel exhausted, defeated, anxious, and depressed? Does your own childhood trauma pop up, threatening to derail you as you navigate parenting? Is it hard to take care of yourself while taking care of everyone else?
Do you wonder how in the world life might get just a little bit easier?

I believe that pain and shame die when shared and that there is hope for being able to heal.

Please note: morning & midday availability only .......... Change is not easy. Whether you're needing to experience relief from anxiety, depression, past trauma, or a current difficult situation, counseling can help bring us out of stagnation and onto the path of change in a compassionate and non-judgmental atmosphere. I enjoy helping people identify what thoughts and behaviors are helpful in building satisfying lives and which may have once proved useful, but no longer work for them.

I treat complex trauma, sexual violence, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, maternal mental health and burn out, birth trauma and addiction.
You’ve been in survival mode for so long. Sleepless nights, restless thoughts, and that lingering feeling of panic returning, sometimes unexpectedly, like it did when you were a kid. You’re doing your best to manage, but old habits are creeping back in—overeating, drinking more than you'd like—and it's leaving you wondering: Is there something wrong with me? Will this ever change? It’s hard to take care of yourself when your body and mind feel so overwhelmed. You’ve been putting on a brave face for others, keeping it together for the people who depend on you, but deep down, it’s exhausting. You're carrying it alone.

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.
