On most days, do you feel like you're just going through the motions? Maybe you’ve reached a point where you feel emotionally numb, disconnected from yourself and those closest to you.

You might be wondering: what will happen if I allow them to see the real me? Will they judge me? Reject me? Accept me? Though these are some of your deepest fears, you’d never dare say them out loud. If this sounds like you, I see you, and I’m glad you’re here.

There are moments when your mind and body stop moving in the same direction; when you feel a deep disconnection from yourself, your emotions, or the world around you. For many navigating mood or personality disorders, addiction, shame, motherhood, or the long shadow of childhood trauma, this isn’t a rare moment; it’s a well‑practiced survival strategy. Your nervous system is doing what it learned long ago: protect you, even if the protection now feels like distance.
Disconnection isn’t a failure; it’s a biological stress response.

My clinical work focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma, and postpartum mental health.
You used to be able to keep it all together, but lately that has become more difficult. Maybe you overcame quite a lot to get to where you are, so it's even more frustrating that the things that used to help aren’t working as well. On the inside, you feel restless and exhausted, but you can't figure out how to rest or relax. If you ever get a little down time, your mind races and fixates on every worst-case scenario. Sometimes, it feels like your body shuts down completely. All of this is incredibly frustrating, and you have resigned to the fact you may need help. You want things to feel easier, and your effort to count.

My clients are primarily adult individuals who hope to find healing and connection within themselves and with others.

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.
