My therapeutic approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Psychoeducation. I have experience and extensive training in helping women struggling with infertility, medically complicated pregnancies, postpartum mood and physical complications as well as parenting challenges. I offer a supportive and empathetic perspective so the individuals I work with feel safe to share and heal in a non-judgmental environment.
In maternal mental health, it takes a highly skilled clinician to decipher the differences in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD) and fully address the root cause of the emotional distress. I believe when a parent is suffering, the whole family does also. I am committed to help families heal through addressing the mental health needs of women. You are not alone, you are not to blame and with help, you will be well.
