This isn’t how your journey to parenthood was supposed to go. If you’re here, you’re likely feeling hopeless and grieving what should have been.

I get it and you’re not alone. I have a passion for working with those struggling with stillbirth, pregnancy loss, recurrent pregnancy loss, infertility, birth trauma, NICU trauma, and the pregnancy and postpartum following.

As a therapist specializing in reproductive mental health and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I offer a space to gently explore the inner conflicts that arise during fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.
You might feel like you’re carrying the weight of a thousand voices—some whispering fears about the future, others shouting reminders of what you think you should be doing. Maybe you’re wrestling with questions about parenthood, facing the ache of fertility struggles, or navigating the shifting tides of identity that come with pregnancy or parenting. These moments, full of both hope and uncertainty, can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to hold them alone.

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.

I have a passion from within to support women and mothers during some of life’s hardest transitions and obstacles. This includes the whole perinatal period from pregnancy, birth, postpartum, infertility, and loss. Each woman I see for therapy is given individualized care, based on her specific needs. This type of care is different, because it focuses on a holistic approach connecting the mind and body with evidence-based information, cognitive behavioral interventions, and is person-centered.

I've assisted women and their partners with handling intense symptoms related to postpartum adjustment, infertility, and pregnancy loss.
I often work with people to manage issues in their lives that have become difficult and distressing, such as separation/divorce, career/job changes, grief/loss, relocation, becoming a parent, and retirement. Some clients experience symptoms of anxiety or depression and we focus on realistic, practical strategies to reduce their intensity and impact. My approach involves closely assessing how these issues impact daily life, how relationships are affected, what support has or hasn't been available and then develop a plan for working toward changes and greater satisfaction in 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.
