I’m intensively trained in DBT, Brainspotting 1 and 2, and perinatal mental health through PSI.
You constantly think about food and dieting and want the cycle to end. You emotionally eat or binge/purge to escape. You struggle getting dressed because you hate your body. You want to diet but every time you do, you lose the weight and regain. You’re tired of the rollercoaster.

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.

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.

Taking the first step toward therapy isn’t easy. You may have been thinking about reaching out for a long time, wondering if your struggles are “serious enough,” or worrying that you’ll have to start over by telling your story to someone new. Those feelings are completely understandable.
My hope is to provide a space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted while also being challenged to move toward meaningful change. Therapy doesn’t require you to have everything figured out before you begin—it simply asks for a willingness to be curious about yourself and open to the possibility that life can feel different.

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.
