People know themselves best until.... Something happens internally or situations arise and one's emotions, reactions and behaviors become uncomfortable, ineffective, or unrecognizable. It is often at this point that one looks to a therapist for assistance and guidance in figuring out how to feel better, make significant changes, or begin one's journey to heal. I am always impressed with the amount of courage individuals exhibit as they put their trust in the therapeutic relationship. It is an honor and privilege to help individuals make changes in their life.

Let me connect you with the supports and resources you need to ensure a smooth postpartum period.
Are you struggling with increased anxiety or negative thinking since becoming a new mom? Often times during a big life transition like motherhood, there are a lot of emotions including processing a new identity and figuring out a new way of living. You may be feeling lonely or sad, which may be something you never thought you would feel after the birth of your baby. It is okay to ask for help so you can explore these feelings, learn healthy ways to cope with your feelings, and thrive as a new mom.

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.
