Accepting new clients! My approach to therapy is based on a holistic, strengths based perspective and is tailored to each client's personality and needs. I enjoy encouraging self-discovery, growth and transformation in my patients. Exploring the connection of mind, body and spirit as well as creating awareness around foundational beliefs and behaviors is essential if we desire positive change. Together we will explore the root of problem behaviors, redefine distorted beliefs and learn coping skills. You will also learn to develop body awareness, mindfulness and wisdom to experience a more empowered version of you.

Let's talk about sex! Time and time again I have heard clients tell me that they have tried therapy in the past and just didn’t work out. When it comes to sex, intimacy and relationship issues finding the right fit in a therapist should be of highest priority. I consider my approach to be a person-centered integration of several evidence-based models, as it is my firm belief that each client or couple deserves an approach as unique as their needs are.

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.
