I have developed areas of specialization around times of major identity transition: adolescence and emerging adulthood; infertility, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, perinatal loss, parenting; as well as treatment across the lifespan.
The core of my practice revolves around the reality that transitions, especially around starting, growing and managing a family can present a multitude of challenges, and that therapy can help both individuals and families develop strategies to not only cope with difficulties, but also learn to thrive. Across the life span, my expertise with issues such as attachment, anxiety, depression, trauma, and interpersonal relationships in both individual and family therapy enables my patients to identify underlying patterns, navigate transitions, and craft more satisfying experiences.

Are you having difficulties in your intimate relationships? Does the a person in your life make you insane? Do you feel unheard by them? Have there been ruptures in trust? Challenging relationships can leave us feeling drained, lonely, anxious or depressed. Having hard conversations and dealing with these distressing feelings does not have to be the end of your relationship. By understanding the very things that threaten our relationships, like infidelity, repetitive fights, betrayal, and not feeling seen, we can build stronger connections. Let's stop bottling it all up and actually use it to create the relationships you want.

What is child therapy? Do children sit and talk over their problems like adults do? How do I know if my child needs professional help? And, what kind of therapist is best suited for my child? Most adults have a hard time understanding that children, especially very young children, can be in need of psychotherapy. In my private practice, where I specialize in the treatment of children and adolescents, parents bring children of all ages to me with a variety of reasons for their anxiety or depression. School related issues are quite common. Children who struggle with learning and attention deficit issues are prone to lowered self-esteem, often accompanied by behavior issues at home or in school. These children may also have developed problems making friends. Other children I see are feeling the effects of a transition or loss within the family. This could pertain to an illness, death, separation or divorce of parents, even the result of a parent's depression.

Infertility Therapists

How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?

Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.

How does therapy for infertility issues work?

The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.

What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?

Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.

How long does therapy for infertility issues take?

There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
