All of us come to a fork in the road in life. You may feel there is no hope. You may feel alone and misunderstood. Maybe you have traveled this path before. You wonder if it is just you that has these problems. Whatever brings you here I am so glad you did not give up. Life does not have easy answers but with the right support and unwavering advocate in your corner it can be more manageable. 

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Perinatal Mental Health Certified Provider practicing for nearly 20 years. I am an LGBTQ affirming, anti-racist ally and trauma trained. I am certified to treat insomnia, PTSD, Depressive Disorders, grief and women's mental health. My specialty is Reproductive Mental Health and HRV Biofeedback.
