About My Clients

Pregnancy through the early years are a unique time. You may feel shame or guilt that things are not as perfect as you hoped they would be. At least 1 in 7 parents struggle with depression, anxiety or PTSD. You are not alone in this; You are not to blame; and with the right help, you will be well. Your little one may be struggling too, due to stress, like a NICU stay, divorce, or adoption. It's never too early to get help. As an infant mental health therapist, I work with you to support them.

My Background and Approach

For the past 15 years, I have been supporting families during the perinatal and early childhood period. Many of the families I have helped had their own histories of trauma, depression and anxiety that rose to the surface when they were pregnant and parenting. With adults, I focus on helping them build their circle of support and change their negative thought patterns. If appropriate, we may also explore how their own histories are affecting their current relationships. With little ones, we work together to understand and shift challenging behaviors, work through the child's trauma narrative and build hope within the family.
