I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing psychotherapy to adults with anxiety, interpersonal issues, and stress related to life transitions. I am also a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C) and have 20 years of experience providing therapeutic support around perinatal mental health issues and parenting-related stressors from infancy to empty nest. As a therapist, I believe that change is possible with connection, communication, and collaboration with a trusted person on a regular basis.

If you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in your life, therapy can give you the skills and support needed to make positive, lasting changes. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I have expertise in helping people overcome anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. I am also passionate about supporting women navigating the complexities of infertility, pregnancy and postpartum, as well as parenting.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of women and teenage girls. My goal is to provide a safe, trusting, and caring environment for each of my clients. I am compassionate and encouraging and know that sometimes people need to be challenged in order to take the risks that facilitate change. I have experience working with a wide range of issues, including perinatal mental health, anxiety, mood disorders, disordered eating, trauma, relational conflict, and general life adjustment difficulties.

My goal is to provide a safe, warm, and secure environment where inner exploration can be possible. I specialize in perinatal mood disorders, attachment issues, trauma, depression and anxiety, working with adults in all stages of life. I have a particular interest in supporting women and their partners through the transition and journey into parenthood.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who works collaboratively with clients to help them overcome challenges and achieve their personal goals. I approach my work as a therapist with empathy, warmth, and humor. I empower my clients to make desired changes in their lives. A successful therapeutic relationship starts with a strong connection between my patient and me. Finding the right fit is the most important piece of that puzzle. Each of us is made up of many strengths which, with the right understanding, can be used to work through our vulnerabilities.

As a clinical psychologist, I help adults make meaningful changes in their life and address roadblocks that lie in their way. Whether you are struggling with issues related to relationships, illness, family, work, stress, or other life changes, I can help you find your way.

There are times in life when we all need extra support and it can be difficult to ask for help. By reading this, you have already taken the first step. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, parenting, pregnancy/postpartum, relationships, or any other emotional concerns, let’s work together to improve your mental health. I am here to guide you in your journey toward letting go of the things causing you distress while empowering you to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Are you navigating big changes in life such as marriage, pregnancy, or becoming a first time parent? These stages can be very exciting, but also new and overwhelming. When lacking critical supports either socially or emotionally, these experiences can become both personally challenging and contribute to issues in your relationship. As a licensed counselor and certified in perinatal mental health, I am experienced in providing the support for individuals and couples seeking to improve their personal mental health and the quality of their relationships.

I provide client-centered psychotherapy that emphasizes meaningful change and builds resilience. Effective psychotherapy creates change on many levels--alleviation of symptoms, a deeper understanding of one's self and more satisfying relationships. I am dedicated to creating a collaborative and supportive environment unique to your needs and goals. I also provide neuropsychological evaluations to all age ranges and all areas of functioning (learning, memory, behavior, executive function). Similarly to my psychotherapy practice, I cultivate a collaborative stance when providing neuropsychological evaluations in order to make the evaluation as thorough and useful as possible.

With over a decade of experience in Outpatient Psychiatric clinics, I have witnessed the human capacity to change and adapt to the challenges life delivers. In therapy, my role is to help clients determine their own path through a crisis, develop skills to manage difficult emotions, and support their overall well being. I strive to help clients see more clearly what their needs are and identify coping strategies to meet them. I tailor my approach to match what my clients need, and have extensive training in present-focused, evidence-based treatment modalities (CBT, DBT and ACT).

The transformational “magic” in therapy occurs when an alliance develops between therapist and client—when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I am here to listen deeply and journey alongside you as we discover ways to help you to get beyond patterns and behaviors that no longer serve you and move into a more hopeful, satisfying, and life-affirming future. Over the years, I've worked with couples, families, and individuals to address issues including but not limited to depression, anxiety, family conflict, grief/loss, trauma, school issues, sexual orientation, aging, infertility, pregnancy, and self-esteem.

Life can be tough! But I think we sometimes forget our resilience when life, school, work, and family, throws us twists and turns. Sometimes, we need a little help in balancing all the demands that are placed upon us and that we place upon ourselves. Welcome to your journey to self re/discovery! You have taken a major step towards your goals even by reading this profile. As your Counselor, I see this as a collaborative process. Using a very kind, personable, authentic and non-judgmental approach, we will walk together as you discover your many hidden strengths along the way to hope and healing.

We all encounter moments in our lives that test our capacity to cope, and may cause us to feel ungrounded or overwhelmed. Whether you are struggling with issues of depression, anxiety, intimacy/relationship concerns, family struggles, life transitions, or simply feel like you need a space to talk through the things weighing heavily on your mind and heart, I intend to create a safe and supportive environment to explore the issues impacting you. I offer a calm, authentic, compassionate style and use an eclectic, active, relational approach grounded in psychodynamic training.

I see therapy as a place to practice courage and honesty, with the goal of creating more joy, humor, flexibility, and play in one's life, relationships, and work. I often see individuals dealing with complex issues such as depression, grief/loss, anxiety, recovery from trauma/abuse or neglect, postpartum or parenting issues, child emotional or behavioral concerns, relationship conflicts, or identity/life transitions. My approach is collaborative, empathic, and interactive, creating an environment in which to help you better understand, relate to, and address the challenges you are experiencing.

Psychotherapy is for anyone who wants to make improvements in his/her life. I work with people to free their creative energy to live satisfying lives by resolving blocks caused by unconscious processes that create emotional suffering. It is important to find the approach that is right for you and the person to work with who is right for you. My approach to psychotherapy is pragmatic and flexible. I have an abiding interest in how our minds work and how to improve the quality of our lives.

I view psychotherapy as a tool for self-development, self-exploration, greater connectedness, and the opportunitiy to feel deeply understood by a caring professional. I also see the therapeutic process as a collaborative one that helps clients gain greater insight, improve self-esteem, and a sense of well being while making real life-long changes.

I primarily work with women, who are motivated to better manage anxiety, relationship challenges, and cope with difficult life events/ transitions. I value a holistic understanding of each client's unique experiences, background, and needs. I prioritize building a therapeutic connection with my clients, aiming to create a safe place for authentic growth. Therapy is distressing at times, and I find that bits of humor & laughter go a long way. Through the use of evidence-based practices, I support the development of healthy relationships, coping skills, self-esteem, and decision-making that aligns with personal goals & values.
