It's hard to be a person, and therapy can be a remarkable resource. I work with folks that want to feel less anxiety, want to feel more authentic and secure in their sense of self, and/or want to understand and change the way that they connect with others in their work or personal lives. I frequently work with clients in the queer community, new (or new-ish) parents, and folks grappling with perfectionism, complex trauma, and the challenges of big and small life transitions.

I work with individuals, couples, and families facing trauma, marital and relational challenges, postpartum concerns, depression, anxiety, and life transitions.

Turning toward our pain and taking a step toward healing takes tremendous courage. My approach to therapy is to honor that courage and walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity. My role is to shine a light on your next step. I’ve had the privilege of helping many individuals, couples, and families resolve conflict, rediscover joy, and find meaning in the midst of loss.

With over 15 years' experience, I am a certified Internal Family Systems therapist with specialty training in maternal mental health from Postpartum Support International.
You’re so tired. And you’re tired of saying you’re tired. The worries and to-do lists run in circles in your mind. You’re overwhelmed, wondering when things will get easier. And you may even blame yourself for how hard things are. You provide so much care to others, but you get lost in the shuffle. Your temper flares easily. So much has changed in your life, and you wonder if you will feel like yourself again. Care work is incredibly hard and so often invisible, especially with the lack of systemic supports. Self-preservation in the midst of that is even harder.

I've completed post-graduate training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and am certified in Perinatal Mental Health and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which helps with processing the lasting effects of trauma on the body.
Beginning or resuming psychotherapy is a deeply personal choice that is often met with complicated and sometimes even conflicting emotions. I believe that in order for people to make the best use of psychotherapy, they need to feel respected, safe, and supported within the therapeutic relationship. This lays the foundation upon which one can better understand themselves and in turn grow. My practice aims to assist people with improving the quality of their interpersonal relationships, deepening their understanding of the familial/relational context in which they were raised, and living a more fulfilling life.

You may appear capable and composed on the outside, yet feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained inside. Many of my clients are thoughtful adults who are used to managing on their own, but feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by experiences or patterns that have become harder to carry, even when things “should” be fine.

Who you share your stories with matters. This is one of the reasons why choosing a therapist is so personal and important. There are many connections that shape your life. However, life doesn’t have to be dictated by previous experiences or fate. You have the capacity to make choices with the stories you're born into, and live these stories forward in new ways. The understanding that occurs in therapy creates the freedom to live meaningfully, especially when shared with a therapist who has broad experience and intuitive sensitivity to your concerns.

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.
