With 15+ years' professional experience working with growing families, and advanced training in perinatal mental health, interpersonal psychotherapy, and brainspotting, I have the educational foundation to assist you.
Are you struggling with a major life change or transition, such as becoming a new parent, dealing with a major medical diagnosis, coping with the loss of a loved one, or ending a significant relationship? You might feel like you're in a constant state of worry, struggling to cope, and unsure of where to turn. Despite your best efforts to seek support and help, nothing seems to work. In the past you may have always been able to logically solve your problems but now it seems like you can't stop worrying or crying. Maybe this is the first time you’ve considered finding someone to talk to or maybe you’ve been considering it for a while.

Of particular interest is helping women with postpartum depression and anxiety; women and couples struggling with fertility related issues; as well as grief and loss, particularly pregnancy and infant loss.
As a therapist, I believe that it takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for support during difficult times and consider it a privilege to help people along their journey. For me, the most important part of the therapeutic process is the relationship between client and therapist, and I work to cultivate a nurturing and supportive therapeutic environment. Everyone wants to feel heard and understood and providing that is the basis of our work together.

Accepting New Clients Now...........When we experience sexual, pregnancy and birthing trauma it often impacts us for a lifetime. As women, we are given the unique experience of multiplying that which is given to us, and welcoming each new generation. But what happens when things do not go as planned? As you traverse the aftermath of what happened to you, it is often hard to connect to yourself spiritually, mentally and physically. Trauma processing feels impossible; AND you have the capacity to heal already inside of you. Let's work together to redefine the relationship with yourself and the world around you.

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.
