What I Work On
I work with children from age 5, teens, young adults, adults, and elders through talk therapy — one to one, online. Below are the areas I'm asked for most often. If what you're carrying isn't listed, ask me anyway.
Children, Teens, Young Adults & Adults
I hold space for children, teens, young adults, and adults: ages 5 and up, tweens, teens, adolescents, college students, "failures to launch," emerging adults, and elders. For students, that includes school pressure, identity, independence, and the anxiety underneath it.

Perinatal Support
Mood and anxiety symptoms and disorders during pregnancy and postpartum. My particular expertise is in prenatal and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and the mental health side of a woman's reproductive life is badly under-treated.

Pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum
Reproductive loss and infertility
PMS and menopause
Neurodivergent Individuals
"On the Spectrum," AuADHD, ADHD, ADD, highly sensitive people (HSPs), empaths, and anyone newly or late diagnosed. If you feel everything more loudly than the people around you seem to, that is workable.

Disordered Eating
Firm, but warm, sensitive support and truth telling for eating, weight, and body image issues. I've been recovering for more than 50 years! Ask me about peanut butter!

Women's Mental Health
I have expertise in women's mental health: stress and coping, relationships, marriage, divorce, babies (young and old), parenting, hormones, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, life transitions, conception (or lack thereof), pregnancy, birth, illness, aging, grief and loss, loneliness, self-esteem, imposter syndrome, caregiver fatigue, and finding direction and purpose.

Nurses & Nursing Students
From one who knows! "Been there and done that!" I understand the highs and lows, the unique and stressful challenges of healthcare and your chosen profession. Forty-seven years in, you don't have to explain the basics to me.
