Why this work?
Over and over, I watched the same thing happen. Someone in the middle of something genuinely hard — pregnant, postpartum, dealing with a diagnosis, grieving a pregnancy — being told they'd be fine. That this was normal. That so many people had been through exactly this.
What they actually needed was someone to take it seriously.
Being common doesn't make something easy. And dismissal doesn't make it better — it makes it worse. People who are brushed off stop reaching out. The chance for early, real support slips away.
I became a psychologist because I didn't want to be part of that pattern.
My background
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist — and the areas I focus on aren't random. Perinatal mental health, reproductive health, and OCD kept showing up as places where people were struggling, where the need was real, and where good, specialized care was genuinely hard to find. That's where I've chosen to put my training.
I work from an evidence-based framework — which just means I use approaches that research has shown to actually help. For OCD that's ERP. For perinatal and reproductive health concerns, ACT and CBT. The goal is always the same: practical, effective care that moves things forward.
An advocate, as well as a clinician
Reproductive mental health affects a lot of people — and specialized care for it is still hard to find. PMDD goes unrecognized. Perinatal OCD gets missed. Fertility grief often goes unsupported.
My job is to take it seriously. To believe you, assess you properly, and offer treatment that actually addresses what's happening.
If you've been told it's just hormones, or that you should feel grateful — none of that changes what you're carrying. And it doesn't mean you have to carry it without support
About Me:
I live and practice in Vermont, where I try to spend as much time outside as possible. Hiking, gravel riding, and camping are my favorite out-of-office activities. I also serve as Board Secretary for the Vermont chapter of Postpartum Support International, which reflects the same commitment that brought me to this specialty: the belief that people navigating the perinatal period deserve better support than the system currently provides.
Let’s work together
I work with a small caseload deliberately. I want to know your story, track your progress, and be genuinely present for the work we are doing together.
If something here resonates, if you recognize yourself in any of what I have described, I would be glad to connect. The first step is a consultation, and there is no obligation beyond that conversation.
