My journey into motherhood was an extremely difficult transition due to my experience of postpartum anxiety. My journey towards healing prompted me to specialize as a therapist working with pregnant and postpartum women. I absolutely love what I do.❤️

💙May is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month! Did you know that at least 1 in 5 mothers experience a perinatal mental health disorder?💙

If you or someone you love is struggling during pregnancy or postpartum and are not sure where to turn, I created a list of resources of where you can begin.

I’m excited to share that I’ve started a new position as a Clinical Therapist with Life Restoration and Wellness. Supporting individuals in the Upper Peninsula, where I live and care deeply about this community, has always been important to me. This opportunity allows me to expand that work.❤
I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, OCD, and perinatal/postpartum challenges, using a whole-person approach that honors both mind and body.
I will continue offering telehealth services, and there are plans to open an in-person office in Escanaba in the future. I’m looking forward to this next chapter and to supporting more individuals in our area.✨

Virtual sessions available now. In-office care coming soon.

There is a belief that having OCD means that you like things clean, tidy, and organized. In reality, OCD can be a debilitating mental health disorder that leaves those affected trapped in a cycle of obsessions and compulsions.

Perinatal OCD is a mental health condition characterized by repetitive, unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and irrational, excessive urges to do certain actions (compulsions). It is estimated that 7.8% of pregnant individuals and 16.9 % of postpartum individuals, and some partners, will experience Perinatal OCD.

Repetitive, intrusive images and thoughts are very frightening and can feel like they come “out of the blue.” Research has shown that these images are anxious in nature, not delusional, and have a very low risk of being acted upon. It is far more likely that the parent experiencing symptoms may take steps to avoid triggers and what they fear is potential harm to the baby.

Perinatal OCD is treatable, and help is available. You do not need a diagnosis to reach out for help. For help resources, visit https://loom.ly/Ax0CXp0.

We all understand the desire and pressure to keep going but it is just as important to know when to give yourself a break. Our bodies and minds need rest- we are humans and not robots! If you are someone who struggles to slow down, I hope this can remind you to check in with yourself and listen to what you need.
