The choices we make in life are based upon our actions. I believe challenging those behaviors and replacing the negative behaviors with positive/healthy ones is reachable, and we will do that in our sessions. I worked in a hospital setting for over 5 years and a private practice for over 2 years. I spent a big part of my career providing counseling to individuals and families suffering from anxiety, self-esteem issues, marital discord, depression, postpartum depression, and unresolved grief. I am also licensed to write ESA letters for clients who need crucial support from a service animal.

I am particularly passionate about perinatal mental health, including pregnancy/infant loss, infertility, postpartum, and adjustment to parenthood.
While each of our lives include their fair share of ups and downs, sometimes we need support to help us navigate what's going on. Life can be very stressful and it is normal to seek guidance when we need it. Whether you're dealing with general feelings of unhappiness, depression, anxiety, anger, resentment, low self-esteem, or experiencing challenging reactions to relationship issues, life transitions, grief, or trauma, I am here to help you on your path to healing. While I am located in New Jersey, I also maintain clinical licensure in Washington, DC and am certified to provide teletherapy in Florida and Vermont.

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.
