They might come to me wanting to feel lighter in this world or learn how to manage the dark days. These are generally people suffering from depression-like symptoms. Sometimes, you need an empathetic person on your side to navigate you through your journey.

Whether a pregnancy is planned or unexpected, every experience is shaped by personal circumstances, support systems, and life stressors.
These experiences are far more common than most people realize, yet they’re rarely talked about openly. As a mother who has navigated some of these challenges myself, I understand how important it is for women and families to have meaningful support during this time. This inspired me to pursue advanced training in perinatal mental health so I can help.

I pursued my Perinatal Mental Health Credential to help parents cope with that transition.
Life does not always turn out the way you think it will. We make plans but there are many paths in life and many unknowns. If your path seems hard right now, or you are not sure which way to turn, or you feel all alone and in the dark, I can help you find the path that makes sense for you and your values. Whether you have problems with relationships, anxiety, depression, or a phase of life, your path will look different from others' but it can still be bright and beautiful. Focusing on your goals for your life and finding the way there takes some time, but it is worth it for yourself, those who love you, and your future.

As an experienced perinatal mental health and relationship therapist, I believe healing and connection are possible in life’s toughest challenges.
As a parent and member of the LGBTQ+ community, you face unique challenges and societal pressures that can strain your relationships. You may be fed up with feeling disconnected from your partner(s) and overwhelmed by the challenges of parenthood, feeling isolated and struggling to communicate effectively. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel heard and understood. You’re ready to rekindle the connection and joy in your relationships. Most of all, you’re ready to transform your relationship into a source of strength and support.

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.
