Welcome! I am so glad you’re here. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide therapy for women. I love working with all women, but I specialize in perinatal mental health concerns (pregnancy and postpartum). It takes courage and vulnerability to ask for help as an expectant and new mother.
1 in 5 women experience a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder during pregnancy or postpartum. Being pregnant can bring about many new emotions and decisions. Some of these emotions may include fear of miscarriage, medical results, body image concerns, and unwanted advice surrounding childbirth and childbearing.

Know that you are not alone in these feelings. Perinatal Mental Health concerns are highly treatable.
