Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Saint Louis, MO
My work is focused on creating a safe, warm, and inviting space for individuals and couples to receive therapy. Many of the couples I work with experience poor communication, lack of trust, and resistance to change. I believe those who are open to change and self-awareness are those who will benefit the most. I also enjoy working with individuals. You may be struggling with interpersonal issues. You may feel unsure of your identity and of the things you want in life. For both couples and individuals, my job is to walk with you on the path toward happiness and contentedness.

My specialties include: Couples counseling, Divorce/co-parenting, school issues, acculturation, adjustment, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and birth trauma.
Are you going through a major change in your life? Divorce, remarriage, blending a family, new job, new baby? Have you hit a road block in your career? Is anxiety keeping you from living an enriching lifestyle? Do you have unresolved trauma? Do you have a difficult to manage child? I can help you with these sudden roadblocks. During these transitional phases of life, we need a support system to help us gain strength, resilience and maintain a healthy living. I use EMDR, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) in working with adult clients and play therapy with my child clients. I act as an advocate, sounding board and gentle challenger.

If you are going through a major life transition, coming into your own as an adult, are bicultural, or in the perinatal (pre- pregnancy, pregnant, postpartum) phase of life, we may be a good fit to work together and I'd be honored to be on a therapy journey with you.
While my most commonly used approaches are somatic based, treatments are not one size fits all. We’ll work together to decide the best approach for you. I truly believe that therapy sessions are collaborative and will always listen to your feedback to adjust what we can.

Whether you have a clear sense of why you're seeking therapy or just feel something isn't right, starting this process can bring up a lot of different emotions.

Imagine enjoying your pregnancy without your mind racing through worst-case scenarios.
Trying to conceive has you stuck tracking and obsessing; your fertility clinic is your new second home. Having children was always your dream, but you never imagined it would be this hard. Maybe you're pregnant now, but so afraid to get attached, worried something could go wrong. Everyday you check for symptoms to reassure yourself. Or your baby’s finally here, but you can’t enjoy it. You watch their breathing, have scary thoughts, and you can’t let anyone else help — it feels safer if you just do everything yourself. You’re exhausted, anxious, and scared. This is not what you planned.

I have experience working with young adults and adults surrounding trauma/PTSD, grief, depression, anxiety, relationships, LGBTQIA+ identity exploration, perinatal mental health, life transitions, and eating disorders.
Life moves so quickly! We seldom take time to pause, reflect, and observe the beauty in and around us. Instead, we tend to ruminate about the past or obsess about the future, robbing us of present moment awareness. Therapeutic space provides the unique opportunity to remedy this —if we can simply be present, we learn to work meaningfully with the thoughts and emotions which arise, and we find direction and new possibilities. My hope is to be a source of safety, insight, and clarification as we help you find your way.

You’re a woman 30+ who’s done therapy before and understands your patterns—but still doesn’t feel different. You’re high-functioning, thoughtful, and capable, yet old dynamics show up when you’re stressed, triggered, or feeling alone. You may struggle with perfectionism, shame, people-pleasing, or relationship patterns that no longer fit. You’re tired of just coping and want deeper, lasting change. You want to feel more connected to yourself and others, more present in your life, and ready to explore the roots of what you’re carrying.

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.
