My areas of interest are perinatal mood disorders (PMH-C), couples counseling, challenging adult family relationships, women’s issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, OCD, stress, , and self-esteem issues.
I believe we all have a story to tell. Our life experiences shape who we are and how we think and behave. I feel honored when clients share their stories with me and allow me to help them navigate through these stories to gain a better understanding of themselves and possibly break free from unwanted thinking patterns and behaviors. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of a successful counseling experience and enjoy building these relationships with individuals and couples so we can start working together toward change.

My specialized training as a marriage and family therapist and in perinatal mood and adjustment disorders from Postpartum Support International will help you to do just that.
Everyone said having a baby would be the most magical time in your life, but you're finding that juggling the demands of parenthood and partnership leave you feeling more unappreciated, unseen in your marriage, and overwhelmed than you've ever been before. Feelings of loneliness and anxiety visit more than you could have imagined, and worry sets in that maybe you'll never cut it as a mom. Know it doesn't have to be this way. You can trust your abilities as a parent, enjoy the here-and-now with your partner and your baby, and approach both the chaos and beauty of parenthood with compassion, confidence, and humor.

Or maybe you have been struggling by yourself for so long, the idea of opening up and being vulnerable is difficult. I try my best to make it easier by focusing on building trust from the beginning (this means we go at your pace) and making your goals the focus of our sessions. I am passionate about working with the perinatal population as well as anyone experiencing anxiety, depression, or general life stressors.

I believe therapy offers people an opportunity to gain a better understanding of who they are, where they've come from, who they'd like to be, & where they'd like to go. Life can become overwhelming quickly. Too often people forget that it's okay to stop and ask for directions. As a therapist, I believe the most important part of the human experience is feeling comfortable in your own skin and feeling in control of your own life. When it all becomes too much, support from a therapist can be one of the most gratifying and rewarding experiences.

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.
