I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience in various settings, currently working exclusively with adults in individual therapy. My primary orientation is psychodynamic, which means that I help clients look at current symptoms and relationship problems as manifestations of patterns - often outside of our awareness - that we learn in childhood. Often this learning leads us to suppress important parts of ourselves and our experiences, which in turn leads to suffering. I believe that exploring these patterns and slowly acquainting ourselves with disowned feelings and conflicts is critical for lasting symptom change.

Therapy is not one size fits all. I believe everyone's journey is unique to them, and as such, no two therapy sessions look alike. My goal is to help people step back and look at what might be going on in their world and help them find ways to change and improve that. I would describe myself as laid back, easy going, but also direct and straightforward with my clients. I find humor and connecting with people goes a long way and I do my best to incorporate that into all my sessions. If you're not feeling comfortable or safe, I can't expect you to trust me with your thoughts/goals/needs and wants. I look forward to meeting you!

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating hardships including anxiety, depression, relational struggles, and the quiet but persistent feeling that life shouldn’t be this hard.
My approach is rooted in polyvagal theory and attachment science, which means I help you pay close attention to how your nervous system and early relationships shape the way you move through the world. This insight can help initiate change through skill building, self compassion, and self acceptance. Healing isn't about "fixing what's wrong", it's about helping your body and mind feel safe enough to allow your genuine self to emerge.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?
In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
