Perinatal mental health is an important part of overall well-being that is often overlooked. Pregnancy and the transition to motherhood can bring joy and excitement. They can also bring anxiety, sadness, overwhelm, isolation, and other unexpected challenges.
If motherhood feels harder than you expected, you do not have to navigate it alone. Support is available during this major life transition.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with advanced training in perinatal mental health, I support women during pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to motherhood. I work with concerns including postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, pregnancy anxiety, postpartum adjustment, parenting stress, and burnout.
Therapy provides a supportive space to talk openly about parts of pregnancy and motherhood that may be difficult to share with others. Together, we can work to reduce anxiety and overwhelm, adjust to change, strengthen relationships, and develop healthy coping skills. Therapy can also help you build confidence as you navigate parenthood and changes in your sense of self.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. I use evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy. Treatment is tailored to your individual experiences, needs, and goals.
My background in therapeutic special education also shapes my approach to parenting and parent-child relationships. I help parents better understand their children's emotional and developmental needs while working to build stronger, healthier family relationships.
When helpful, partners or other supportive family members can also participate in therapy. These sessions can help loved ones better understand perinatal and postpartum mental health, strengthen communication, and learn practical ways to provide support during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
