I integrate a holistic and natural approach to health and wholeness – spirit, soul, and body. Together we will examine possible root causes of unwanted symptoms. Additionally, I enjoy incorporating spiritual disciplines and a Biblical worldview for clients who want that. However, all religions and beliefs are valued and respected.

I offer evidence-based and customized treatment for anxiety, OCD, chronic illness, and pregnancy and postpartum concerns including loss, PPD, PPA, birth trauma, and PPOCD.
You're a high-achieving professional or mom who's getting bogged down by your tendency to over-think things. You realize your thoughts are irrational, but can’t get them out of your head. I help moms who are overwhelmed, numb, disconnected, struggling to juggle everything (aka supermom syndrome), or more irritable with others. You feel afraid, guilty, alone, and no longer recognize yourself. You may be having scary thoughts about your baby and are afraid to tell anyone. Others have no clue you're struggling in this way and you're just trying to keep it together.

Becoming a mother can be one of the most beautiful transitions in your life while also being one of the most challenging times you may ever face. No one can prepare you for what it means to be a parent.

Even though there are thousands of people becoming new parents everyday, it can feel like you are completely alone, isolated even from those that love you the most.

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.
