The experience of finding a qualified therapist who feels like a good match can be exhausting. There are far too many options and the idea of telling a stranger anything about yourself is daunting. If you are reading this, you may be feeling stuck (or on the edge of becoming unhinged) and you are worried. My job is fourfold: to listen to your issues, recognize maladaptive patterns or behaviors, help to connect your emotions to your actions, and teach coping skills that nurture an overall sense of competency and contentment.

Are you feeling lost and alone in your grief? Shock, disbelief, anger, guilt, and deep sadness are all normal reactions. Have friends and family gone back to their lives and you're feeling pressure to "get over it?" I understand how difficult it can be to navigate the world when "grief triggers" can feel like stepping on mine fields. Loss can be experienced in many ways. A divorce, the loss of a job, the loss of a relationship or other significant life events can feel like a death and affect us in profound ways. I can help you navigate this journey.

I am a high-energy clinician specializing in working with anyone who is preconception planning, who would like support during pregnancy or postpartum, or who has experienced fertility challenges and/or pregnancy loss.
I often see clients are hesitant to begin therapy for fear of needing to tell their life stories. This isn’t my style; I am much more interested in what is happening here and now. The details of the experiences that have happened previously will reveal themselves as needed throughout the therapeutic process. In therapy, my clients drive the bus and I simply help navigate them through the experience. I believe the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is one that is built on trust and collaboration, which takes time to develop. My goal is to provide the type of therapeutic environment that my clients are looking for.

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.
