Life has changed in big ways, and it’s not feeling how you hoped it would. You thought this season would bring happiness, but instead you feel anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure how to keep up.

You just need someone to point you in the right direction. That’s where I come in.

” My speciality focuses on the perinatal period and in the early years of parenting.
In addition to parents, I work with children, teens, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression and trauma. The approach is the same: exploring the past to better understand how it has manifested today. We then create a plan to cope and be more present within the body, mind, and spirit.

What if life could feel different? You’ve asked yourself that question so many times lately. Your mind feels overwhelming, racing between old wounds and the future you long for. You’ve tried everything: grounding skills, self-help tools, and advice, yet you’re still just getting through. Stress is loud, patience is thin, and healing feels exhausting. Still, you haven’t given up. You want relief, honest support, and space to simply exist. Peace may feel distant, but you’re nearer to change than you realize.

I received my Certification in Perinatal Mental Health in 2022 to help mothers through the many challenges of postpartum and motherhood.
Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, or at your breaking point? With all of the challenges life throws at us, it can be easy to feel like this. It can seem like there is not enough time in the day to get everything done. Sometimes we freeze, shut down, and retreat to our shell. Sometimes we lash out in anger. And sometimes we run away from our responsibilities by distracting ourselves in a variety of ways. These may be natural responses. Yet, we will benefit learning ways to strengthen ourselves to overcome these unproductive responses and break what seems like a never ending cycle.

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.
