About My Expertise
I specialize in parental mental health...and you may be asking ‘what IS that?!’ Through research, we now know that it is not only WOMEN who experience postpartum depression. It is both MEN AND WOMEN who can experience MORE than just depression and it can occur during more than just the postpartum period. Whether it be infertility, during pregnancy or postpartum, we know that 1 in 7 women will experience a perinatal mood disorder, which can include depression, anxiety, OCD, and even psychosis (very rare, and requires immediate intervention!). We ALSO know that 1 in 10 dads can experience this!
Whether you are struggling with infertility, or you are a new mama or dad, you may be navigating the transition into parenthood, or really at any phase along the parenting journey, I work with you to feel validated, less overwhelmed, supported, and helps you develop helpful skills that you can put to use in your daily life to ease anxiety, depression, or stress!
As a mama of three boys very close in age, and a survivor of a perinatal mood disorder, I offer a very supportive, welcoming, nonjudgemental approach to therapy. I have not only the wisdom that my training has offered, but the wisdom that life has offered me. If you are struggling, I encourage you to reach out! It is not your fault, and there IS help for you! xo
