I specialize in perinatal mental health and work with individuals and families impacted by the unique mental health challenges associated with the childbearing years during pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood. I am passionate about maternal and paternal mental health, connecting with others, and having support during life's challenges. I believe in the innate strength and resiliency of people and feel honored to support my clients. Mental health challenges during the perinatal time can be very overwhelming. It can be hard to reach out for help, but I hope you will take the step to get the support you deserve.

I love being a therapist because it allows me to connect with diverse people in a deep, meaningful way and to have the privilege of helping them on their unique journeys. I'm a diplomate in sex therapy as well as a licensed psychologist, and I have over forty years of experience. In my part-time practice, I specialize in working with people with sexual issues, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those practicing ethical nonmonogamy or involved in the kink community. I am well known for my work in these specialties and have published a book for psychotherapists, "The Modern Therapist's Guide to Working With LGBTQ+ Clients."

Life is full of what Glennon Doyle calls ‘brutiful’ moments—equal parts beautiful and brutal. If you’re feeling lost in worry, sadness, or change and want to experience more ease, I can help. I love working with women in NJ and NY who are ready to prioritize themselves and find their voice at work, at home, and in their relationships.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or invisible as a caregiver—or as a sibling of someone with special needs?
Living in a family impacted by special needs can be emotionally exhausting. Parents and caregivers often carry constant worry, guilt, and stress, while siblings may feel overlooked, confused, or pressured to “be the strong one.” Anxiety can quietly take over, leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how to cope.
I work with adults and teens, including parents, caregivers, and siblings of individuals with special needs, who are struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and burnout.

You might look like you have it together on the outside, but internally, things feel heavy, uncertain, or harder than they “should” be.
I work with women in their 20s and 30s, new and expecting mothers, and young adults navigating identity, relationships, and major life transitions.
