I help moms navigating perinatal mood struggles, postpartum depression/anxiety, birth trauma, and the overwhelming transition to parenthood.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or constantly irritable? You’re juggling work, parenting, and everything else—exhausted all day, yet your brain won’t shut off at night. Asking for help feels impossible when you’re used to doing it all. Or maybe you’re worried about your child: big feelings, behavior struggles, sleep troubles, or signs of anxiety or trauma. You want to feel better yourself, and you want your kid to feel safe and okay again.

My approach involves bringing change about from the inside out. We will work towards understanding how the problems that brought you here developed, what they mean, and the purpose that they serve. This approach goes beyond simply treating symptoms and strives to help you make changes that are deeply-rooted and long-lasting. It has been proven that the therapeutic relationship actually creates healthier connections in your brain. In younger children this deeper type of therapeutic change is often accomplished through therapeutic play. Play is the natural language of children and allows them to express their thoughts and feelings.

I specialize in the field of perinatal mental health.
We all have running narratives about who we are in this world. We use certain words to describe ourselves, like “I’m too sensitive.” “I’m an anxious person.” “I’m not good enough.” While these stories are based on real experiences, they can also hold power over our self-esteem, our decision-making, and our relationships. In therapy, we will work to understand yourself and the world around you in new ways that feel more accepting, empowering and expansive.

I’m trained in the Gottman Method, use evidence-based approaches like CBT, and am certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C).
People come to therapy for different reasons—sometimes clear, sometimes harder to put into words.

I also support individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Many are navigating life transitions—becoming a parent, struggling to become one, or adjusting to roles and identities that don’t feel how they expected.

You don’t know where to turn anymore. Some days are so overwhelming it feels like you’re barely keeping it together. Balancing it all—work, family, and relationships—just feels too much to handle. You’re feeling directionless & defeated with no solution in sight. You keep telling yourself it shouldn’t be this hard, but thoughts like “Am I good enough?” or “This shouldn’t be happening to me” keep playing on a loop in your head. Life changes have only made things harder. You could be returning to work after maternity leave, starting a new job, or your kids are going to a new school—these transitions bring a whole new level of stress.

Lasting change happens when we come to understand the ways of being that no longer serve us and learn how to let them go. Patients who have previously experienced therapy as unhelpful or unproductive in the past have seen improvement from our work, particularly as related to trauma, anxiety, and feeling unfulfilled in life. Our work will focus on the formation of a strong therapeutic alliance, mutual agreement on goals, and an ongoing curiosity of how things came to be as they are and how they might be different.

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.
