About My Clients

I primarily work with clients who are coping with pregnancy and postpartum challenges. I also have experience and a special interest in working with women across the lifespan. I am honored to walk alongside you as you process difficult life experiences, find your voice, cultivate self-compassion and resilience, and learn new skills to thrive.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience in a variety of settings, including crisis hotlines, domestic violence and sexual assault counseling agencies, inpatient psychiatric treatment centers, hospitals, and outpatient medical clinics. I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health therapist (PMH-C) with extensive clinical training and experience helping people with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, birth trauma, miscarriage and infant loss, infertility, pregnancy termination, and adoption. My theoretical orientation draws from several therapies and approaches, including trauma-informed care, interpersonal therapy, EMDR, CBT, feminist therapy, and mindfulness. I use warmth, compassion, collaboration, and humor in my work with clients. I am committed to social justice and a therapy practice which is safe and welcoming for all.
