I am an active member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and am a certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C).
The journey to parenthood can be different for everyone. Are you finding that your path feels nothing like what you dreamed and are struggling to manage the influx of emotions? You may be struggling with your identity life plans, relationships, and your coping strategies. Many individuals and couples going through infertility feel isolated, lost, frustrated, sad and worried. You may feel like you are on a roller coaster, full of ups and downs, and unsure of what comes next. The experience and decisions can be overwhelming and confusing. You are not alone.

In addition, I also specialize in working with addiction / alcoholism (including loved ones affected by addiction), dual diagnosis cases (co-occurring mental health & addiction issues), grief/loss, trauma, postpartum mental health, and major life transitions.

I am certified in postpartum mental health and I offer a variety of evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Processing Therapy, EMDR and Internal Family Systems.
Healing isn't about 'fixing' what is broken; it’s about reconnecting with the part of you that has been sidelined by past experiences. If you find yourself stuck in the same painful patterns or feeling constantly on edge, your body might be holding onto stories that words can't quite reach. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space to help you process deep-seated wounds and rediscover a sense of safety. Together, we will work at a pace that honors your story and supports your resilience.

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.
