Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Gig Harbor, WA
Over the years, I have worked with adults in early parenthood, midlife, and later life, including women navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and fertility stress.
Many people who come to see me say, “I’m not coping as well as I used to.” You may be managing work, family, or responsibilities on the surface, yet inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsettled. Perhaps you are navigating new parenthood, health changes, grief, or an unexpected life transition and need a steady place to sort things through. You may find yourself overthinking at night, losing patience more easily, feeling tearful, disconnected, or unsure of your next step. You want to feel more like yourself again — clearer, steadier, and more confident in how you are handling this season of life.

I often notice when we finally take the time to catch a breath we tend to bring awareness to just how shallow our breathing actually is. Life moves fast and it doesn’t slow down even when we need it the most; it's easy to slip into survival mode. As a therapist it is my goal to not only guide my clients out of survival mode but help them find a way back to thriving and connection. While I honor the survival skills that got you here, it may be time to consider the possibility of healing. Whether it is PTSD or complex trauma, sports/performance blocks, attachment wounds, depression, anxiety, or birth trauma, I am honored to help.

Perinatal mental health trained and qualified through the Postpartum Stress Center, directly training with Author/researcher Karen Kleiman, and Postpartum Support International.
I work with individuals (ages 19–80) who are navigating a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. This often includes healing relational wounds, working with anxiety, complex trauma, and shifting out of insecure attachment patterns. I additionally have a passion for helping parents and birthing people through emotional intensity, identity shifts, and the generational patterns that tend to surface as we parent—particularly when external systems feel strained or unsupportive.

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.
