Clinical Interests
My main clinical focus is on women's behavioral health. This includes treatment of women both during pregnancy and directly following delivery, as well as during the menopausal transition. I enjoy providing integrative treatment that takes into account an individual's hormonal status, past experiences, and current challenges.
Care Philosophy
I believe in providing care that:
1) Is tailored to the unique experiences and biology of the individual;
2) Is grounded in scientific evidence;
3) Promotes healthy individual development throughout the lifespan.
