Are you a new parent struggling with the transition to parenthood? Are you pregnant and experiencing depression, anxiety, or PTSD? Did you have a traumatic birth experience and don't know how to cope? I specialize in perinatal mental health, meaning I work with mainly pregnant mothers or mothers in the postpartum period. I also help mothers who are struggling with a variety of issues, whether it's their relationships, parenting, balancing the demands of motherhood, mom guilt, postpartum disorders, etc. If this sounds like you, I'd love to work together and be of support.
I am certified in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. My treatment approach is client centered and interpersonal, meaning I believe my clients have the answers they need to get better within themselves and a large focus in treatment is on their interpersonal relationships and attachment issues. My treatment approach will depend on the goals of my clients.
My presence in therapy is calm, empathic, caring, and understanding. I also like to use humor when appropriate. One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is seeing my clients gain confidence, security, and growth in themselves. I look forward to working together. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
