About me
Overcoming postpartum depression, sustaining a career transition, battling cancer, and raising a special needs child have profoundly impacted my clinical practice. My personal experiences, combined with my training in psychoanalysis, my specialization in parental education, and my master’s in leadership, connect with the complex challenges of navigating the extraordinary difficulties life presents.
Whether helping a parent address their child’s developmental disorder or working through the complexities of a partner’s diagnosis, I assist families in creating healthier, more balanced relationships. My work unfolds by offering guidance in both typical and atypical developmental contexts, helping individuals find clarity and strength in their roles, all while navigating the pressures of modern life.

Approach
The work I do is rooted in the understanding that parenthood, professional life, and personal identity are deeply intertwined, often creating tensions that challenge both parents and their families. I support parents in recognizing how work-related pressures, family dynamics, and the expectations of society affect not only their own well-being but also their relationships with their children and partners. My approach helps parents face these challenges with confidence and assertiveness, offering them tools to understand and respond to the emotional and developmental needs of their loved ones.
I maintain a perspective that seeks to understand the uniqueness of each individual and the conscious and unconscious patterns of how we are affected and how we affect others. This understanding shapes how we structure ourselves to navigate life and the challenges it presents.
