As a licensed clinical psychologist and over 10 years of experience, I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families through the perinatal period. I am a certified perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C), and my approach is integrative, gentle, and effective. By incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, I create a warm, approachable, and validating space for my clients.
I specialize in helping new and expecting parents manage challenges like postpartum depression and anxiety, infertility, birth trauma, and loss. My background in substance use treatment also informs my work with clients. As the owner of Phoenix Health, I lead a group therapy practice that offers specialized online therapy for maternal mental health.
In our work together, you can expect a soft, calming presence. My clients often share that they feel validated, less alone, and more in control of their emotional wellbeing. In addition to my clinical work, I am a sought-after writer and speaker dedicated to reducing stigma around these issues, and I supervise several other therapists on our team.
