I was so glad to contribute to thoughtful piece: 7 Surrogacy Myths That Keep Circulating. There is so much misunderstanding and stigma that perpetuates these myths, and I was glad for a chance to correct the record

Bottom line, untreated anxiety and depression during pregnancy is dangerous to the pregnant person and to the developing fetus. There is a high risk of relapse for those who stop their SSRI during pregnancy. Everything is a risk vs benefit analysis when it comes to pregnancy but we need our patients to better understand just how risky it can be for them to stop their medication and/or leave their mental health symptoms untreated.

A few nightlights from our February newsletter. You can subscribe on our website or at the link in our bio.

Read on for a note to our community

As I was preparing our February Newsletter, I couldn't help but feel the intense dissonance of doing a normal “work task” in the midst of a devastating and scary time in our country's history.
It’s so hard to do the normal tasks of life of life right now. As a practice, we’ve had many conversations amongst our team about this very challenge, and about how to best support our clients who we know are struggling with the same. While I wish we had a perfect answer as to how to best navigate the grief and fear of this moment, there is no road map for this. It is normal, expected, and deeply human to feel overwhelmed about how to hold all of this. What I can say with certainty is that we are here for you.

As therapists, we are grateful for a job that lets us connect human to human in an authentic way. Whether that means helping you navigate the fear and anger you may be experiencing as you watch the news, or the personal challenges you are facing at home. They both matter, and we are here to meet you wherever your needs are in this moment.
As a practice, we remain committed to ethical care, which for us means, amongst other things, staying outspoken about our political beliefs so our patients know they are safe in our care. We don’t know where this moment will lead, but we will be here to walk alongside you as we figure it out together.

Supporting parents as they navigate all the tough decisions that come along with the job is always so rewarding. I loved weighing in on this common parenting dilemma for this article. Bottom line, though, there is no right answer, and identifying and sticking with your values as a parent is key.

Do you ever notice that we celebrate so many milestones for our babies as they grow and develop, but don't celebrate all the huge wins and areas of growth we experience as parents? I loved contributing some thoughts to on the development of maternal confidence and identity, and why that's worth celebrating, too.

It was super fun contributing to this article for . I'm always glad to help put some motherhood myths to bed, and I bump into this with patients all the time, who are concerned their maternal instincts are not kicking in the way they are "supposed to." This is especially true for non-birthing and non-bio parents. Check out the link in my bio to read the article in full.

Loving how shocked people are at all the therapists speaking out. What we do has always been political. I'd argue our ethics require it.
