The Perinatal/Postpartum Transition is hard. You don’t have to do it alone. Bringing a child into the world changes everything - including your mental health and/or relationship with substances. If you are pregnant or postpartum, and battling intrusive thoughts, anxiety, depression, identity loss, and/or are struggling with abstinence/cravings/relapse- you are experiencing a medical vulnerability, not a personal failure. While I have spent 14 years in the community helping adults navigate a variety of mental health issues, some of my most meaningful work was the years I spent working in an OB/GYN clinic, supporting women through reproductive transitions.

I provide a safe, honest, and compassionate space to help you navigate the mind-body shifts of the perinatal period. Together, we will explore the latest research on maternal mental health and substance use so you can make informed choices about your care. To support your recovery, we will practice concrete tools to relieve physical depletion, reestablish a sense of self, restore boundaries, and find joy, even in the chaos.

In our first session or two, we will complete a diagnostic assessment so I can understand the bigger clinical picture. From there we will talk in more personal and practical terms about your unique situation and what you want to change. We will then map out your personal goals, and identify a few immediate, practical tools to help you find relief right away.
