Have you hit a sticky point? It happens! We hit them throughout our lives. From adolescence to adulthood. whether we are receiving care or giving it, we need to iron out the wrinkles now and again. As a teenager, you might be faced with tricky situations or struggle to have the types of relationships you want with family and friends. As an adult, the pressures of work, parenthood, or other caregiving might be triggering a lot of stress, anxiety, or depression. Or maybe you're heartbroken because it is your child who is struggling instead.

I am licensed in the state of IN, NH & KS. I am able to usually get people in within a week and maintain that level of availability. For the past 20 years, my clinical focus has been helping people who have identified depression, anxiety, life transitions and family issues as sources of stress that they wish to work through. My clients come to me to reduce/eliminate their symptoms and regain their own definition of ideal functioning. Though, I am known in my community for working with adolescents/teens which I am passionate about, a significant portion of my caseload consists of adults and families who I am equally dedicated to.

Becoming a parent is one of the hardest roles to take on. Many moms never expect to feel anxious or sad after giving birth and blame themselves for having those very real feelings. Give yourself some grace; your whole world and all your relationships change when you have a baby. Even parenting older children can be challenging. I have over 20+ years helping moms feel better about themselves, their role as caregiver and finding ways to feel happy and secure again.

I strive to help individuals work through their current stressors and improve their coping skills and confidence for wherever this unpredictable life takes them next! I have helped many children, teens, and adults find ease in their lives, and am particularly passionate about working with pregnant individuals and parents (which can feel new again at every child age!).

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.
