Becoming a parent is exciting and joyful but can also be stressful and demanding.

I am passionate about helping parents become the best parents they can be.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in maternal mental health issues. I work primarily in the area of perinatal mental health with pregnant and postpartum mothers. I work with women of all ages and all life stages and transitions. I have been working with parents, children, and families for over 20 years in a variety of settings.

I grew up in Berkeley, California. Both my parents were psychiatrists and so I was interested (and steeped!) in psychology from a very young age. I have two children myself - one who is a senior in college and one who is in middle school.

My Practice

"It’s very much a
collaborative process"

"Part of it is creating a big big space for all the feelings around this transition in your life.

Another part of it is rolling up our sleeves and figuring out very concrete ways to manage and cope with all of the changes."
