Pregnancy and Postpartum

My interest in the field of perinatal mental health began in 2021 after my son was born. I began training in perinatal mood disorders in 2022 through Postpartum Support International. I became certified in 2023. I have worked with clients through preconception, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.

Life transitions can be difficult, and preparing for the arrival of a child are no different. Even in the best of circumstances, a new addition to your family can spark difficulties. Physical, emotional and financial stress can take a toll, and so many women feel stress about what they “should” be doing. From a birth plan, to breastfeeding, to parenting styles and new family dynamics, there is so much pressure to do things the right way. I am here to help you follow your own compass, trust your

I am trained in pregnancy and postpartum mood disorders and provide support to all who are in this stage of life. I spent five years volunteering for Postpartum Support international, working on their warm line for new mothers. I have volunteered as a new parent support group leader for The Program for Early parent Support. I am also a mother to three children, so I understand the demands of motherhood on your life, your family and your relationship.

I have specialized training in reproductive mental health and have supported many clients though their own or a parter's pregnancy and on into parenthood. I also offer support for fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, and abortion.

Following my own journey to parenthood, my passion is helping women and men with the hardships that can arise when building a family. I have more than 15 years of experience, specializing in helping clients coping with infertility, pregnancy loss, and postpartum issues. I completed the 10-month Fertility Counseling Postgraduate Course with Sharon Covington, MSW and Dr. Linda Applegarth, EdD and am certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) by Postpartum Support International.

Becoming a mother is the most difficult and complicated adjustment you will ever experience. Your body and life will never be the same. From the moment you share the news of your pregnancy, anyone and everyone seems to have an opinion, and it feels like you're wearing a t-shirt that says, "Please Advise Me On Caring For My Offspring." Don't try to get through this time alone. Let's talk about creating a plan to make sure you stay mentally healthy even on very little sleep.

Becoming a mother brings many challenges both physically and emotionally for women. I am a certified perinatal specialist from Postpartum Support International, and have trained extensively at the Postpartum Stress Center. I am also affiliated with Boston OBGYN for women in the Boston & Metro West area. Don't wait to get help, if you are wondering if you have postpartum mood issues, please reach out.

Pregnancy & Postpartum can be some toughest life changing transitions in a woman's life. Losing oneself in motherhood is a common experience. Becoming overwhelmed, stressed, getting stuck in your thoughts, & constant pressure or comparison can plague a new mom or mother in transition. I am passionate about helping moms find their way through this new phase of life, while also bringing elements of her old life. (Perinatal Mood Disorders Trained- Postpartum Support International)

Underwent additional self-study courses and trainings in Postpartum care addressing the needs for mothers who may need additional emotional support after having a baby.

I have completed training with Postpartum Support International to treat perinatal mood disorders. My treatment style is strengths focused, relationship centered and action based. This means we will first focus on helping you feel safe and understood in therapy, finding ways to engage your support system to support you in ways that actually feel helpful and focusing on specific things you can do with your thoughts and behaviors to feel better.

Pregnancy and Postpartum life can be HARD. Because it's so challenging, women often experience Postpartum Depression, and lesser discussed Postpartum Anxiety. I'm here to help you navigate life with your new little one, tackle your new role as a parent, and keep connected with your partner.

Parents too often don't get the help they need while adjusting to welcoming a new child. Whether you are coming as an individual or couple, you can get support from me.

Therapy can be a place to figure out how to adjust to parenthood and how to cope with the pressures that come with this new role. It also provides you with a place to get support for what you are going through. I work with men and women who are struggling with this adjustment in a more mild form as well as men and women who are experiencing postpartum mood and anxiety disorders.

I spent the first part of my career working exclusively with children, which included a large amount of caregiver support, and led me to seek more specialization to support new parents (partners included) during such a vulnerable life chapter. I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health by Postpartum Support International, and have collaborative relationships with various members of the local birthing community (doulas, midwives, lactation consultants).

We treat Perinatal/Postpartum/Maternal OCD, providing moms-to-be and new moms who are suffering with OCD symptoms effective treatment. We offer treatment for both maternal themes, such as an intense fear of harming or contaminating your infant, as well as any other subtype of OCD during pregnancy and postpartum. Should any OCD symptoms persist after the perinatal period, we continue to provide care to our clients throughout the entirety of their OCD treatment journey.

Pregnancy and the postpartum period are two of the most significant changes in a woman's life. I have training in helping moms adjust to their new roles, as well as addressing any postpartum anxiety or depression that may be present.

I have specialized training in treating women with perinatal and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. Additionally I am a trained Bringing Baby Home facilitator, a program that helps couples navigate the transition from being a couple to being a family. In my private practice I work with parents at all stages of parenting; from new born to adult children. I have found that each stage of parenting presents its own unique challenges and I have a soft place in my heart for parents and the struggles they go through as they guide their children through life.
