My expertise lies in helping people overcome depression and anxiety, and navigate major life transitions including college stress, early career pressures, and the complexities of pregnancy or postpartum adjustment.
Many people I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or depression while trying to keep everything together on the outside. You may struggle with perfectionism, self-criticism, or coping habits—like substance use or emotional avoidance—that once helped but no longer feel sustainable. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand these patterns, and build healthier ways of coping. I'm here to help you find a new path forward.

These approaches help me honor both the nervous system and the internal protective strategies that often develop in response to overwhelming experiences.

I specialize in OCD and related-disorders (BFRP & BDD), anxiety, & pregnant & postpartum mental health.
If anxiety and fear are constant companions, life probably feels like an uphill battle. Living with relentless-intrusive thoughts, scary images, and illness & mental health fears is exhausting. Being pregnant, a new parent or adolescent adds additional contributing factors like hormonal changes, stress, and responsibility, which can make symptoms worse. Working with me, you will gain a better understanding of what is happening, reduce anxiety, fear, shame, and learn helpful tools and coping skills to manage and regain self-trust.

I specialize in neurodivergence, perinatal & parenting, trauma, and burnout.
You don’t need another place to hold it all together. You need a space where you can finally exhale. You’re high-achieving, capable, and the one others rely on; yet underneath, you’re overwhelmed, burnt out, or struggling. Maybe perfectionism keeps you pushing, even when you’re exhausted. Therapy with me goes deeper than surface-level coping so you can actually feel better, not just keep pushing through. I work with high-achieving women, therapists, and professionals who appear to have it all, while internally navigating anxiety, self-doubt, or disconnection. If traditional therapy hasn’t quite fit, you’re in the right place.

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.
