Women face many difficulties on their journey to motherhood. The most common difficulties are difficulties conceiving, stress preparing for the arrival of the baby, a birth experience that did not go the way they expected, and overwhelmed once the baby is here. My clients have a variety of perinatal experiences; struggles with emotions during pregnancy , postpartum as well miscarriage and infant loss. If you have lost your baby, it is a very difficult time; a loss of hopes and dreams and grieving in a world that does not have rituals or ways to respond to you.

I have training and experience supporting those managing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, depression and anxiety during the perinatal period, life transitions and stressors, and more.
Taking the first steps toward change can be hard and I want to team with you every step of the way. I believe each person has the innate capacity to heal, and that a trusting relationship with a therapist can be a support in that journey. Therapy should be a collaborative process, where you feel comfortable asking questions and can build clarity as you work toward your goals. In my practice, I strive to provide a space where you feel truly seen and can share openly. I tend to weave self compassion, mindfulness, and art creation into therapy, as ways to cultivate emotional resilience and deepen self discovery.

If you are experiencing a significant life change or adjustment such as pregnancy , being a new mom, or the everyday challenges of parenting, then I can help you explore what would help you to feel more fulfilled and how to have more compassion for yourself while accomplishing your life goals.
As women, our lives can be very complicated. We get pulled in many different directions, we often take care of others and put our own needs last. We tend to be hard on ourselves and to have unrealistic expectations about how we "should" be. These beliefs and behaviors often keep us stuck. What would it be like to know and feel that you are unconditionally loveable, good enough, and complete just the way you are? What if you knew that nothing is wrong with you and that you can create the life you want? How would you feel being in control of your thoughts, feelings, and life?

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.
