One of my favorite quotes that really applies to therapy-seekers is this: "Every flight begins with a fall." You may feel alone, afraid, or ashamed, but you also have a bit of hope that talking with someone new about it might help. If some of your concerns are related to your sexuality or your relationships, and you don't know where to turn for nonjudgmental expertise, you're in the right place. I will walk us down the path to figuring out how to get your goals to mesh with your day-to-day reality in a way that will flow more smoothly than what you've been slogging through. It won't always be comfortable work, but you've got this.

Whether you are coming to me because you feel like you are drowning while managing your chronic illness or it's navigating life's challenges in pregnancy or motherhood, I'm here to compassionately see you from the convenience of your own home.
Taking care of yourself with a chronic illness is like a full time job. You need a calendar to manage the various appointments of doctors and specialists that you are fitting into the thousand other things you are trying to manage. You are overwhelmed and tired. You didn't sign up for this and want more for yourself. Does this sound like you? You are not alone, many of the clients I work with have felt this way. My clients are resilient, motivated, and persevering but living with their illness has weathered them and along the way they forgot these parts of themselves and need help being reminded.

You didn't expect life to look this way. Are you paralyzed by anxiety? Overwhelmed with the state of the world and our country? Feeling disconnected from others? Feeling unseen and unheard? Are you struggling to meet the high expectations of yourself and the expectations of what the modern woman is? Have you found yourself thinking; these are supposed to be the happiest days of my life, why am I not happy? Am I a good Mom? Am I being too controlling? Everyone else seems to be able to do it all. Why can't I? Am I making the "right" decisions with my children? Life does not have to stay this way.

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.
