Pregnancy Therapy

Expectant mother silhouette, specialized pregnancy mental health therapy

Pregnancy doesn't always feel like you expected.

Whether you're managing prenatal anxiety or depression, navigating a high-risk pregnancy, pregnant after loss, or preparing for birth, I'm here to support your mental health through this journey. As a PMH-C certified psychologist specializing in perinatal mental health, I understand the challenges: from those first trimester worries to third trimester panic, from unexpected diagnoses to bed rest blues, you don't have to white-knuckle your way through pregnancy.

Let's work together to find calm in the uncertainty and help you feel more like yourself again. Together we'll process, build coping tools, and help you reclaim some joy in your pregnancy.

I see clients virtually across 40+ PSYPACT states, which matters during pregnancy, when driving to appointments gets harder, nausea hits unpredictably, or bed rest limits your options. Therapy can fit into your life wherever you are.

Common topics that we can process together:

It's okay if pregnancy doesn't feel the way you thought it would.

Anxious, numb, grieving, ambivalent, joyful and scared at the same time, all of it belongs here. If you're ready for support, I'd love to hear from you.
