Postpartum Depression therapists in Bethesda, Maryland MD

During pregnancy or after delivery of her baby, a mother may question whether she wants her baby. Symptoms include crying a great deal, and the inability to leave her baby alone in the care of another because of fears that someone might abuse her child in some way.

In my role as a therapist, supporting individuals through postpartum depression is a deeply empathetic and nurturing process. Through a combination of validation, emotional exploration, and evidence-based interventions, I work collaboratively with clients to navigate the unique challenges that arise during this critical period. By creating a safe space for self-discovery and implementing personalized coping strategies, my aim is to empower individuals to heal and embrace the joys of motherhood with resilience and renewed well-being.  

Due to my personal experience with pregnancy loss and anxiety when becoming pregnant once again, I have gained personal and professional knowledge on this and on postpartum depression. I have had the privilege of many ob/gyn's referring their treasured patients to me for help in healing this pain.  

You are not alone. 1 in 7 new moms experience postpartum struggles.

Believing that it is simply a very difficult time, tested by a lack of sleep, a steep learning curve, and hormonal changes. We will work to find your new normal.
