What's unsettling your sense of well-being? Relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, setbacks at work, or illness can make us feel anxious or depressed. A recent loss in the family, a significant birthday, or world events can intensify these issues, and even bring up “old stuff.”
A lessened sense of control can cause us to lose sight of our talents and personal goals.
Such times challenge us to gain greater self-understanding, and more effective strategies for dealing with others—and even a need to map out a new way forward.

You’re overwhelmed. Your mind races, toggling between to-do lists, taking note of what still needs to get done. You agonize over whether or not what you said or did was good enough. You desperately want to say no to the next request, to cut yourself some slack but haven’t the slightest clue how. The idea terrifies you. What will others think? So instead, to quiet the internal chaos you over do it on whatever takes your mind anywhere but here – food, alcohol, work, TV, shopping, social media, sleep, exercise, etc.

Are you consistently swinging between anger and fear about your addicted or mentally ill adult child? Panicked, waking up at 2am each night, terrified about the next relapse?

As a psychologist, I appreciate the opportunity to witness peoples’ capacity for not only surviving, but also thriving in today’s complicated world. My experience over the past decade has brought me to understand the many ways a therapist’s role is akin to that of a gardener tending to a lotus. Just as the young lotus needs tender care and stillness, I provide a safe, nurturing and collaborative environment. Respecting the lotus’s need for sunlight, I approach therapy with warmth, openness and humor. As a Confucian scholar once said, “I love the lotus because while growing from mud, it is unstained.”

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.
