I'm a perinatal mental health and EMDR therapist in Midtown Manhattan, working with high-achieving women across New York City and New Jersey. From the outside, it may look like you have life figured out, yet inside you feel anxious, overextended, or unsure what will help you feel aligned. Maybe you're navigating infertility, TTC, pregnancy loss, or postpartum mood changes. Perhaps disordered eating or body image concerns leave you feeling stuck. You long to feel calmer, quieter, and more like yourself. You don't have to do this alone.
As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) and EMDR-Certified therapist trained at Columbia University, I combine somatic work, coping strategies, and relational therapy to help you ease distress, build nervous system capacity, and feel genuinely supported through TTC, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
In our work together, you'll have a space where you don't need to explain why this is hard — even when it "looks great" on paper — and where your choices are met with compassion, not judgment. If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I'd be honored to support you. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Hosted by
Salina Grilli

The newborn stage can feel incredibly overwhelming and isolating—the mounting mental load, postpartum hormones, and shifting dynamics with your partner, just to name a few. A Mom Group is a wonderful way to connect with other moms going through the same things. That’s why we’re hosting a group for moms with babies under 1 year old. We’ll explore the transition to motherhood, shifting identity, mental load, & relationship dynamics—all with the support of those who truly understand.
