I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years experience providing evidence-based care and support to individuals and couples. My areas of specialization include prenatal and postpartum (perinatal) mental health, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and chronic pain management, including pelvic pain conditions such as endometriosis, painful sex (dyspareunia), vulvodynia and vaginismus. I'm also certified in gerontology and work with older adults and caregivers. In addition to psychotherapy, I provide adult ADHD diagnostic assessment.
In psychotherapy practice I integrate acceptance and mindfulness-based, interpersonal, emotionally-focused and psychodynamic elements
My style is down to earth, radically genuine and compassionate. I affirm your freedom to make choices across identity, affiliation, and relationships.

Empowered Relief® pain skills class - ONLINE

Empowered Relief® is a two-hour pain class that was developed by a pain psychologist at Stanford University. It teaches actionable pain-relief skills and is helpful for anybody living with ongoing pain. Studies show that the class helped reduce pain-related distress, pain intensity, pain interference with daily life, sleep problems, and many other symptoms. These results were found to last 6 months after taking the class!
