Hello! I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who's worked professionally for 8 yrs in addition to my prior 6 yrs of clinical training in various community outpatient, managed care, and hospital settings. While I have extensive experience across the age span, my current focus is adolescent, young adult, and adult therapy. My clinical specialties include trauma, adjustment/transitional challenges, and healthy identity development.

My objective is that after our first session, you will feel that we have a pathway for a desired solution. I have worked with ages ranging from 5 to 85 years young. I treat each individual, couple, or family with respect and warmth.

You didn't realize just how overwhelmed, broken, and alone you'd feel. Suffering through infertility is beyond devastating. Infertility brings stress, anxiety, and depression right up to the surface and impacts everything, especially our most meaningful relationships. Even 'happy' things end up in a complex mash-up of emotions. Despite your best efforts, the emotional roller coaster and quiet despair haven't gone away. You try so so hard. And yet, you are lost, filled with worry and guilt. You fear losing connection with the person you once were before the chaos of infertility.
