Perinatal Mental Health

I have advanced training in perinatal mental health and supporting parenting relationships. Whether you've struggled with infertility, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), birth trauma, NICU stays, breastfeeding, work/life balance, or shifts in your identity and sense of self, support is available—and effective

As a psychologist with specialized training in perinatal mental health, I offer evidence-based therapy that’s tailored to your unique experience.

Infertility and Family Planning

Fertility challenges, reproductive loss, and complex family planning decisions can bring deep emotional pain and uncertainty. You may feel grief, anxiety, or isolation as you navigate a path that others may not fully understand. Through specialized infertility counseling, I provide a compassionate space to process your emotions, strengthen coping strategies, and support your relationships. Whether you’re pursuing fertility treatments, considering alternative paths to parenthood, or coping with unexpected changes, therapy can help you find clarity, resilience, and hope. You don’t have to face this journey alone.

Perinatal Mental Health

Bringing a new life into the world is a beautiful and transformative experience, but it can also be accompanied by a range of emotional challenges. The perinatal period, which includes pregnancy and the first year postpartum, is a critical phase that demands specialized support for both the expecting and new parents. In fact, one in five women will develop anxiety and/or depression during pregnancy or after giving birth.

Common Reasons to Seek Perinatal Therapy

  • Feeling persistently sad, anxious, or irritable

  • Trouble bonding with your baby

  • Intrusive or scary thoughts you can’t control

  • Guilt or shame about how you're feeling

  • Sleep issues not solely related to the baby

  • A traumatic birth or pregnancy loss

  • Struggles with identity, partner relationships, or self-worth

Coping with a NICU Stay

Having your newborn in the NICU can be an overwhelming, emotional, and exhausting experience. You may be juggling fear for your baby’s health, the stress of medical uncertainty, and feelings of helplessness or guilt. In therapy, we’ll create a safe, supportive space to process your emotions, strengthen coping skills, and help you navigate hospital life while caring for yourself. Whether your NICU stay is short or long, and even after your NICU experience has ended, you don’t have to carry this weight alone—support is here for you.
