I've had the honor of working with adults, adolescents and children specializing in Trauma, Depression, Grief/Bereavement and Anxiety Disorders. My clinical interests currently include perinatal mental health (infertility, pregnancy, birth, adoption, adjustment to parenthood), depression, anxiety, attachments, trauma, life transitions, multicultural issues (including immigration and acculturation), emerging adulthood, and identity development. When I have a moment to myself I enjoy the outdoors, adventures, and doing cartwheels outside on rainy days. I find meaning in the present moment through yoga, dance, and emotional connection with others.

With a background in social work, I believe that effective psychotherapy involves treatment that includes a bio-psycho-social approach.
