I have over 21 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I specialize in the treatment of maternal mental health challenges, including the following: pregnancy/postpartum depression and anxiety, reproductive trauma & loss, new parent preparation, infertility, special needs parenting, and pregnancy after loss.  I also work with clients who are struggling with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), grief/loss, and stress.

Through my training in behavioral medicine, I am able to treat psychophysiological disorders — which refers to the mind and body interplay in diagnoses such as migraine headache, tension headache, fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Raynaud’s, muscle tension mediated chronic pain (neck, low back pain), Temporomandibular Jaw Dysfunction (TMD), infertility, endometriosis, chronic hives, and asthma. I also offer psychological support to clients as they navigate through the diagnosis and treatment of medical issues such as cancer, neurological disorders, and infectious disease.
