Seeing a therapist isn't only for people in major life crisis. People in everyday life situations can also benefit from therapy. We all need help at times to understand our feelings, deal with life's challenges and feel hopeful about the future. Life can feel like a roller coaster sometimes. It may take us high with the birth of a child or falling in love and it may drop us low mourning a loss, suffering abuse, or feeling immobilized by depression. Therapy can help you find ways to manage those emotions and promote your well-being.

You may appear to have it together, managing the demands of motherhood, work, relationships, and life transitions. Yet somehow, you still feel anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck beneath the surface. You may long for more than understanding—you want nervous-system relief, insight that transforms, and lasting change that helps you feel grounded, connected, and fully yourself again. Using somatic, experiential, and trauma-informed approaches beyond traditional talk therapy, you can explore a deeper path to healing and presence.

Are you in the trenches of motherhood or navigating a major life or career transition, trying to rediscover who you are in this season?

Life can feel overwhelming at times—like everything is moving too fast, your mind won’t slow down, or you’re just trying to get through the day. When you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or ongoing stress, even small things can feel exhausting, and it can be hard to fully enjoy the moments that matter to you. In our work together, you’ll have a space where you can slow down, breathe, and feel heard without judgment. We’ll gently explore what’s been weighing on you, while also finding ways to help you feel more steady, present, and connected to yourself. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth.

I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and Perinatal Maternal Mental Health (e.g. postpartum depression).
Booking Online Clients Only. I work with those whose lives seem to be going pretty well on the outside – but privately, they're hurting. Sometimes the source of the hurt is clearly known, other times it’s waiting to be discovered. Either way, something needs to be addressed in order to thrive, and my clients are willing to do the work to address it. We face tremendous pressure to be the perfect person, parent, and partner, yet we are not explicitly taught how to exist and grow in relationships or juggle the demands of everyday life. I have a special interest in working with women, couples and new parents.

I support moms and dads through pregnancy, postpartum, and all stages of parenting, for both neurotypical and neurodiverse families.
Parenthood can be joyful, messy, and deeply challenging. I support mothers, fathers, and caregivers at every stage—whether you’re expecting, raising young children, or navigating the ups and downs of teens and beyond. I provide a compassionate space to acknowledge the very real suffering that often accompanies parenthood: anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, chronic illness, or the weight of feeling “not enough”. These experiences are valid, and you don’t have to face them alone.

I'm licensed in CT, NY, NJ, and VA and hold additional certifications in perinatal mental health and exposure and response prevention (ERP) for OCD.
I specialize in the treatment of OCD and anxiety using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based approach for OCD. OCD often shows up in ways that are misunderstood or hidden through intrusive thoughts, mental rituals, avoidance, or “not just right” feelings. Many people experience significant shame around these symptoms and worry about being judged or misunderstood. In this space, intrusive thoughts are understood as symptoms of OCD, not reflections of who you are. Nothing you share will be met with judgment or alarm.

Together, we focus on helping you communicate without things escalating, feel understood instead of dismissed, and rebuild trust and emotional closeness

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.
