I work exclusively with adult women navigating major life transitions that can bring overwhelming or confusing emotions, often tied to identity shifts, loss, relationships, or motherhood. My approach focuses on understanding and healing the underlying patterns shaping distress rather than simply managing symptoms. As a psychiatrist, I practice in an integrative and unconventional way. While medication can be helpful in some cases, my primary focus is on psychological insight, nervous system regulation, and developing skills that support deep healing, self-connection, and lasting change.
