I received my master’s degree in social work from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, am certified in Perinatal Mental Health, and work as an adjunct professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, graduate Social Work program.
As a natural-born people person, I gravitate toward helping those around me and enjoy meeting clients where they are, while developing trust in a therapeutic setting. The family you came from can impact the family you are creating, and using therapeutic approaches that pull from family systems, trauma, and cognitive behavioral methods are my main focus. EMDR trained. I was drawn to this profession because of my passion for working with people who were surviving trauma and grief.

Do you struggle with “feeling like yourself” again since having kids? Do you and your partner or spouse have trouble seeing eye-to-eye? Has intimacy changed since becoming parents? Have you experienced a recent traumatic birth experience? Many women (and men) choose not to seek the help that they need because these issues are not talked about enough in our society. Issues in the perinatal period can also look like rage or increased irritability, low motivation, feeling "stuck", not feeling connected to your partner/spouse, kids, or even yourself.

You deserve to live a life full of self-understanding, meaningful connection, and stability. Dealing with internal chaos during major life changes such as pregnancy, birth, and loss can feel isolating. This is especially true when these experiences are overthrown with mental health struggles. Moments of the past may be showing up in the present, leaving you overwhelmed and drained.

My focus is on sexual trauma and eating disorder recovery, as well as pregnancy related issues (such as Hyperemesis Gravidarium), as well as post-partum mental health.
Trauma & eating disorders both have a way of making us feel alone, and unable to see a future free from the aftermath of these experiences. We often start to identify ourselves as these problems, but those things are separate. Whoever you are, whatever your journey of life may have been thus far, you can recover. It is important to remember that recovery is not linear, and that no matter where you are starting, you are here, and taking this step to embark on this journey towards healing, and recovery. My hope is to provide an empathetic safe space for you to work towards your goals, and to finding your true authentic self.

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.
