Many women struggle silently with mood changes, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts during pregnancy and after birth. You might find yourself feeling overwhelmed, irritable, tearful, or disconnected from your baby or your partner. You might even have upsetting or unwanted thoughts that feel out of character and leave you feeling ashamed or afraid to tell anyone. You're not alone in feeling this way. I’m a Cornell trained psychiatrist and psychotherapist specializing in reproductive mental health. Together, we’ll take a thoughtful, evidence based approach to understand what’s happening and find a path forward.

As a clinical psychologist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, my area of specialty is somatic psychotherapy. In my previous role as Director of Counseling Services at Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center, I created the Postdoctoral Psychology Training Program in University Counseling: Trauma and Somatic Studies that focuses on issues of embodiment and intersectionality in psychotherapy with an eye toward the impact of trauma, whether that be acute trauma, developmental trauma, and/or structural trauma, such as racism, transphobia, and the like. I offer an embodied psychotherapy approach which anchors therapeutic work in awareness of sensation and uses the body as a touchstone in guiding the process.

I work with children, teens an adults who are dealing with anxiety and mood changes related to relationships, family life, life-transitions including marriage, divorce, loss of a loved one, parenting, menopause and career changes.

My practice is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. It is a safe space for all people, all sexual orientations, and all gender identities.

I work with couples and individuals to increase self-awareness, self-acceptance, and fulfillment.

My style as a psychotherapist is supportive, empathic, and nonjudgmental. I have worked with adults and older adolescents who struggle with relationship issues, overwhelming emotions, challenging life circumstances, and difficult transitions. I work to help people better understand their areas of struggle and how they can use their strengths to cope with and overcome challenges. My goal is to help the people I work with achieve meaningful and lasting change that improves the quality of their lives.
