Postpartum Mood Disorders

Pregnancy, birth, and parenthood can bring us face-to-face with intense emotions, utter exhaustion, and overwhelming demands and expectations. Parenting pushes us to our limits, and many of us experience unresolved childhood hurts rising to the surface as we learn to parent our own children. Isolation, frustration, frightening thoughts and self-doubt don’t have to be your new normal. With the right support, you can become the parent you want to be, reconnect with yourself, and root yourself in a supportive community.

I specialize in treating perinatal anxiety and depression, as well as working with families that have experienced infant loss, including miscarriage, abortion, termination for medical reasons (TFMR), and stillbirth.

I am a mom of two young children, and my oldest child is profoundly deaf. I have personal experience navigating early intervention programs, Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), complex medical procedures and decision-making, and medical trauma.
