Women’s & Maternal Mental Health
I have a profound respect for the rich and uniquely intricate internal lives of women. I specialize in working with women around the many challenges that can arise throughout the female lifespan, such as complex feelings related to:
- Body image
- Sense of self
- Intimacy and sexuality
- Considering or trying to conceive
- Pregnancy and postpartum adjustment
- Perinatal mood concerns
- Identity shifts in motherhood
- Birth trauma
- Pregnancy loss
- Fertility challenges
- The experience of not having children
- Mid-life hormonal changes
- A history of trauma
There are a range of societal, cultural, and psycho-biological factors that disproportionately impact women and contribute to psychological pressures and distress. Working with women around the multi-layered issues that influence them and their well-being is a deeply meaningful and rewarding part of my work as a psychologist.
