Postpartum depression can feel like a constant cloud of sadness and anxiety that you can't shake. Even though you love your baby more than anything, you may struggle to connect, leaving feelings of guilt and overwhelm. You may feel exhausted all the time and struggle to see joy in life and parenthood.

These feelings are common among new moms. Together we can find strategies to tackle the toughest days and help you feel confident and joyful in motherhood.

Postpartum anxiety can feel like a persistent, overwhelming worry that doesn’t respond well to logic. You may be checking on the baby a dozen times a night, your mind racing with 'what-ifs.' Postpartum anxiety can be exhausting and bring about an unhealthy need for control. Therapy can help you get a handle on this anxiety by understanding its sources and developing tools to reduce anxious moments.

The miracle of childbirth can be a beautiful and transformative experience, but for some, it can also be deeply distressing. Birth trauma refers to the emotional and psychological challenges that some individuals face during or after childbirth. It can result from various factors such as unexpected complications, medical interventions, feelings of powerlessness, or any situation that left you feeling overwhelmed or traumatized during this important life event.

I utilize EMDR and trauma informed cognitive behavioral therapy to work with mothers and birth partners, healing the effects of the trauma and building their resilience to find acceptance and growth.

When your baby is born prematurely or with health complications requiring NICU care, the journey can become emotionally overwhelming. NICU parenting can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and for many parents, it's experienced as a traumatic event. The sights and sounds of the NICU, the uncertainty of your baby's health, and the stress of separation can leave lasting emotional scars. Therapy during and after your baby’s NICU stay can help you process the experience and find helpful ways to cope with the emotions that accompany the NICU for parents.

Losing a child is a pain that no parent should have to face alone. The grief and sorrow that follow the loss of a baby can be overwhelming and all-encompassing. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can express your emotions, share your memories, and process your grief.

Secondary trauma, also referred to as vicarious trauma, occurs when healthcare professionals indirectly experience the emotional distress and trauma of their patients. For labor and delivery nurses and doulas, this can manifest as emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and even symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Witnessing difficult births, maternal complications, and infant health issues can take a toll on even the most resilient caregivers.

It’s okay to need support as a birth worker. I will help you unpack the emotions that emerge in the birthing space and process challenging births so that you can be present in all the areas of your life.
