I am a clinical psychologist with a special focus on women’s issues, particularly anxiety during pregnancy, the birth experience, motherhood, and work-family balance. I love working with pregnant women and new moms to help them navigate the many ups and downs of this incredibly powerful time of transition! In my work I have the privilege of supporting my clients in developing increased confidence in themselves, helping them to navigate this shift in identity, and working through difficult feelings - allowing for a deeper bond with their babies. During my training at various NYC hospitals, universities and clinics, I've had the wonderful opportunity to work with clients of varying ethnicities, religions and sexual orientations, providing me great familiarity and comfort in treating people from all backgrounds.

I am a licensed psychotherapist for individuals and couples, yoga instructor and a certified Movement Analyst from the Laban Institute.

I am a retired doula after 10 years and over 300 births. I work with women who want to balance their hormones, who want to understand their bodies, and who want to feel great in themselves.

As a Postpartum Doula, Chef, and Mom to two daughters, nourishing families is what I’m most passionate about. I serve new parents as a sounding board and additional set of hands while navigating the weeks after birth. I believe that culinary support is an integral part of postpartum healing, providing physical energy in addition to emotional comfort. As a Nutritionist (RDN) and Lactation Counselor (CLC), I support new parents through all stages of feeding their babies, from the first feed though first foods and beyond. My hope is to provide families with warm, evidence-based support so they can rest, restore, and focus on their new little person or persons.

I am the director of Postpartum Health & Harmony, a psychotherapy practice specializing in infertility, pregnancy and postpartum wellness, pregnancy loss, and birth trauma. At PHH, we are dedicated to empowering you through your parenthood journey, helping you to hold onto hope and feel more in control.
