THRIVE Navigating Depression + Anxiety

Don’t let depression or anxiety drain you. I am here to help.

I created THRIVE to consolidate resources for people experiencing depression and/or anxiety.

I created THRIVE to affirm that maternal wellness is essential. Your wellbeing is not an afterthought.

I created THRIVE because we deserve to prioritize our wellbeing. From a place of abundance, we can be excellent partners, caregivers, friends and community members.

Feel empowered and supported with THRIVE.

I truly believe that with the right tools, we can thrive and build strong, compassionate communities. We will be empowered and respected to make the best decisions for ourselves and our families.

I didn’t always have support or the right tools. When I realized that was missing, it changed everything.

Depression and anxiety aren’t always easy to recognize.

I had no history of mental illness. On paper, I had every reason to be joyful: an attentive husband, supportive family, comfortable career, and a safe home.

But for months, I was miserable. On “good days,” I was anxious, overwhelmed and obsessive. I researched every decision for hours. Selecting a car seat or nipple style stressed me out. Only the most natural birth plan seemed safe–and even that seemed to have life-threatening risks. My family walked on eggshells because any misstep could set me off.

On the worst days, I struggled with suicidal ideation. I also wanted to end the pregnancy, which I thought was killing me due to its complications.

I had never heard of “perinatal depression and anxiety.” (Since I was still pregnant, postpartum depression wasn’t an option.) I was told I just needed to be more grateful; called a monster for considering an abortion; told hell awaited anyone who committed suicide; called a control freak; dismissed and told to pray more.

It was 4 months before anyone bothered to explore why I had changed so drastically during my pregnancy. The changes in me were not moral or ethical failures. They weren’t even my real feelings!

During a prenatal visit, a nurse finally tested me for depression. I passed with flying colors 😒.

With a diagnosis in hand, I had a starting point. But now what?

The birth of THRIVE

Prescription drugs, herbs, exercise, therapy, meditation, mindfulness, supplements, hormone treatments, self-help books– no single option was the solution.

I discovered that my wellbeing required a combination of care methods. Through customized self-care, the symptoms began to dissipate. My daughter was turning 3 before I started to feel like myself again.

You don’t have to wait that long to feel better. I am here to help.
