Maternal mental health is deeply affected by the toll of trauma and grief.

The impact on maternal health—or the health of any birthing parent—is significant, and the ripple effects of dealing with this alone can show up in anxiety, depression, guilt, and even physical illness.

Therapy is not about forgetting your past moving on—it’s about learning how to carry the weight of your reality while nurturing your mental and physical well-being. By addressing your emotional health, you’re taking an essential step in caring for your whole self, which is especially vital for women and parents who have experienced perinatal loss and abuse.

I see you.

And I am here.

Hi, I’m Deb and I am a licensed professional counselor with my perinatal mental health certification in New Jersey. I support women and birthing parents in navigating challenges throughout their reproductive years. My areas of expertise include but are not limited to perinatal mental health disorders (anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, bipolar disorder, etc.), birth trauma, termination for medical reasons, abortion, infertility, third-party reproduction, parenting medically fragile infants and children, NICU experiences, parenting children with additional needs, and perinatal and infant grief and loss.

I hold a unique specialty in working with sexual abuse survivors throughout their childbearing years and providing care for individuals experiencing traumatic grief and loss, particularly the loss of a pregnancy, infant, or child. Supporting bereaved parents through the unimaginable and catastrophic loss of their babies is a profound and sacred responsibility that I approach with deep compassion and care.

In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a volunteer and board member for Postpartum Support International - New Jersey. I am dedicated to educating others on perinatal mental health and infant grief and loss. My extensive training includes advanced modalities such as EMDR, somatic experiencing, trauma-informed yoga, perinatal palliative care, ego-state therapy, exposure and response prevention, and advanced compassionate bereavement care. I have facilitated support groups for many years, providing a steady and compassionate presence for those seeking support.
