As a clinical psychologist, I specialize in helping parents dealing with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (mental health disorders that occur during pregnancy or the postpartum period) and emotional struggles related to infertility, grief and loss, and the overall adjustment to parenthood.
I offer individual and group therapy to clients in New York, South Carolina, and Florida through a secure telehealth platform.
