My Practice

My practice focus is reproductive and maternal mental health. I provide individual and couples therapy for infertility, pregnancy and postpartum, third-party family building, and parenting kids of any age in any family structure. I also work with donor conceived people, and with former donors who want to meaningfully connect with genetic offspring.

My general practice areas include loss and grief, life transitions, understanding and managing mood and anxiety challenges, climate change mental health, sandwich generation stress, and relationship issues. I work with clients in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I believe strongly in the inner wisdom within each of us; at times we just need additional support. Working from a relational approach, I encourage genuine connection and collaboration between us. My clinical style integrates mindfulness-based cognitive therapy with psychodynamic and interpersonal theories.

I love the transformational nature of this work and believe in our capacity for change and growth. Therapy can be an enriching experience that brings about lasting change. I encourage you to reach out for support.
