Great to meet you!

I am a Psychologist who is passionate about helping women through life transitions and reproductive challenges, including pregnancy, motherhood, infertility, loss and trauma.

My approach to therapy

I am trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, which focused on feelings and the deep relational dynamics that are in the way of people moving forward and living meaningful and fulfilled lives. I am also trained in EMDR, which is helpful for the integration of traumatic memories. I use these two approaches both separately and in combination.

What you can expect from me

I conduct a full bio-psychosocial assessment in the first 1-3 sessions, where I ask many questions about present concerns, circumstances and history. This helps me understand what approach to treatment is best suited for each person.
