Whether you're struggling through a specific season of life that is particularly hard or ready to better understand yourself, therapy is an investment and act of kindness for yourself and your loved ones. I am here to work with you, to hold on to hope when things feel bleak, and to celebrate the moments of clarity that are undoubtedly ahead for you. I combine warmth and humor with expertise in child development, perinatal mental health and helping men and women navigate demanding careers. My patients appreciate both feeling deeply and thinking critically alongside someone invested in their growth.
I have completed advanced training and a postdoctoral fellowship in treating parents navigating infertility, birth trauma, NICU parenting or the loss of a child. More generally, my research and clinical interest in grief informs my work with people suffering losses that are not traditionally recognized, like divorce, job loss and chronic illness.
Additionally, I provide play therapy for young children, adolescent psychotherapy, and parenting support. Adults benefit from my expertise in working with families, as I firmly believe that a key to a healthy adulthood is developing a nuanced understanding of childhood. Together we'll reduce your daily distress and update old narratives keeping you stuck.
