Now accepting new clients. Starting therapy can feel intimidating—especially when you’re carrying the weight of trauma or feeling pressure to just “tough it out.” Whether you’re working through past pain, current stress, or major life changes, you don’t have to do it alone. I work with adults ready to face difficult experiences, move past emotional roadblocks, and build a more connected, authentic life. Many of the people I work with—especially men—have spent years feeling like they had to keep things in or handle everything themselves. In therapy, that burden doesn’t have to follow you.

You’re used to being the woman people depend on. The strong one. The one who holds everything together and everyone calls when something goes wrong. But lately, you’re exhausted. The cracks are starting to show, and it’s getting harder to keep pretending everything is fine. Your mind tells you you’re not doing enough. Even small things feel overwhelming, and no matter how much you do, it never feels like enough. I work with women who feel like everything might fall apart if they stop. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to be the strong one all the time.

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.
