For over 15 years of clinical practice, I have had the opportunity to specialize in infant/early childhood mental health and development for children 0 – 8 years old, prenatal and postpartum support and therapy, parent coaching, and psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults in all stages of life.

My clinical background and therapeutic approach are based in psychodynamic principles, attachment-based and trauma-informed interventions, and ongoing neurodevelopmental research.  My work is grounded in the belief that relationships are the foundation of mental health and emotional well-being.

I completed a dual degree for my graduate coursework in New York City.  I received a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Hunter College, in Clinical Practice with a concentration on Psychodynamic Psychotherapy; and a Master of Science in Education (MSEd) from Bank Street College of Education, in Infant-Parent Development and Early Intervention. I have worked in a number of settings including in Head Start and early childhood centers, community mental health, home visiting, integrated behavioral health in pediatric primary care, and private practice. My professional experience ranges from direct therapeutic care with children, families, and adults, consultation with pediatricians and preschool providers, program development for integrative behavioral health departments, and reflective and clinical supervision/consultation for mental health providers.

I hold an Infant Mental Health Endorsement (IMH-E) as a Clinical Mentor, a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) in psychotherapy, and I am a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC).  I also remain closely tied with the Infant Mental Health community in Colorado, providing Reflective Supervision and Consultation to practitioners across the state, and I previously served on the executive board of the Colorado Association for Infant Mental Health as Vice President and Membership Chair.
