I enjoy working with those impacted by depression, anxiety, PTSD, perinatal/postpartum mood disorders, grief and loss, and relational struggles.
It's been a pleasure to work with individuals of all walks of life seeking to gain a better understanding of themselves, life experiences, and work through issues that are impacting them. I'm a firm believer that in order to grow we must be open to explore more about ourselves and therapy is a great space for that. Its always an honor to hear an individual say "therapy has taught me a lot" or "I'm glad I gave this a chance." I pride myself in providing a safe space to do the vulnerable work together and ensure you feel challenged, cared for, and supported.

Your calendar is filled to the brim, and your mind is racing with thoughts. Soon after you get that rush from checking off a box on your to-do list, panic sets in knowing the list never ends. You are a doer and giver - often going to great lengths to please everyone around you. You try your best, but it still never feels like enough. You fear that if you slow down and pause for a moment, everything might fall apart - even you. You want more balance and ease in your life but you have no idea where to begin.

Your relationship just feels different than it use to. Less excitement, less connection, but more fights and more frustration. You know you love each other, but this is not the relationship you imagined when you first started dating. It feels like you and your partner are going through the daily motions to just get through the day. You swore you'd never let you and your partner end up like those other couples who slowly drift apart. You want things to be better, easier, and more fun. You're finally ready to take the step to reconnect, make your relationship a priority and rekindle joy and love you know is still there.

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.
