My Story: Perinatal Treatment
My work in perinatal mental health is grounded in both specialized clinical training and extensive experience supporting individuals and families during some of life’s most emotionally complex transitions. I hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), which reflects advanced training in the assessment and treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, as well as related emotional and psychological challenges during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
In addition to my training, I have worked within the NICU setting at Brigham and Women's Hospital, supporting parents navigating medically complex births, unexpected diagnoses, prolonged hospitalizations, and infant loss. This work deepened my understanding of how profoundly the perinatal period can shape emotional wellbeing, identity, and family dynamics.
I provide support across the full perinatal spectrum, including pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, infertility, pregnancy loss, NICU experiences, and birth-related trauma. I recognize that these experiences can bring a wide range of emotions—grief, anxiety, guilt, fear, overwhelm, and sometimes disconnection—often occurring alongside love and hope. My goal is to create space for all of these emotions to be acknowledged without judgment.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based care for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Together, we may focus on emotional regulation, processing birth or medical trauma, strengthening coping strategies, and rebuilding a sense of stability and self-trust during a time that can feel uncertain or isolating.
I also understand that the perinatal experience does not exist in isolation—it is shaped by relationships, identity, past experiences, and systemic factors. Because of this, I take a whole-person approach to care, tailoring treatment to each individual’s needs and goals while moving at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
Whether you are navigating pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, fertility challenges, or loss, my goal is to offer a steady, compassionate space where you feel seen, supported, and not alone in your experience.
