You may be living with anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, or navigating a major life transition. On the surface, it can feel like symptoms to manage or problems to solve. But often underneath it all is a deeper longing - to feel safe within yourself, to trust yourself again, and to live in a way that feels true to who you are.

I work with people who come to therapy for many different reasons. Some want to feel better in managing mood, a long-term illness, building skills to help with focus and attention (like with ADHD). Others are going through big life changes, (like preparing for surgery, family/job changes, losing a loved one, or getting ready to retire). In our work together, we uncover your inner strengths, understand how you’ve shown resilience through life’s challenges, and explore ways to how use those assets as you evolve to meet the next chapter of life.

I have training around trauma, perinatal mental health, and identity related concerns, and I have a particular affinity for work with people with avoidant relationship behaviors.
My clients typically come to therapy finding themselves stuck in relational patterns that are not working or navigating significant changes in their lives. This can lead to anxiety, depression, symptoms related to trauma, or other issues that amplify relational stress, often creating a feedback loop that can be hard to break free of on your own. While it’s often clear when something isn’t working, it can be hard to sort out where to start to create meaningful change.

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.
