I am a clinical psychologist specializing in women's health psychology and maternal mental health. My therapeutic style is warm, engaging, collaborative, and solution-focused. I use evidence-based treatments grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to foster an affirming and productive experience. I work with clients to develop effective coping skills to improve mood and quality of life, reduce anxiety and distress, enhance resilience and self-worth, and identify and modify thinking and behavior patterns to support achievement of personal, family, relationship, and career goals.
I have expertise in perinatal and postpartum depression and anxiety, as well as coping with infertility and pregnancy loss. I treat a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship concerns, parenting stress, career challenges, and adjustment to stressful life events and transitions.
A positive and constructive therapy experience can produce life-changing results for you and your family. I welcome inquiries from prospective clients and am happy to offer a brief phone consultation to discuss your treatment needs and goals before scheduling an intake appointment.
