Introduction

My experience and passion focus on improving the lives of women. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes as a pregnancy and postpartum mental health expert (fertility difficulties, pregnancy loss/infant loss, traumatic birth, coping with a NICU stay, anxiety/depression during pregnancy/postpartum period, adjustment to parenthood...) but welcome clients beyond the first year postpartum and support overall maternal mental health at any phase of life, including those trying to conceive or moving through loss. I welcome dads and partners too. Protecting and supporting mental health may look different for each client; however, my approach is always centered on creating a warm, supportive and relatable space. I focus on connection and find space for humor. I normalize so much of what women experience along this journey in becoming "Mom" but also provide real skills to use in daily life. I rely on evidenced-based practices, often incorporating cognitive-behavioral (understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors) interpersonal and relational (understanding relationships and social roles)as well as trauma-informed approaches. Mindfulness is used to ground and increase presence. Telehealth available in 40+ states, current list: https://psypact.site-ym.com/page/psypactmap
