About Me

Prior to beginning my practice I was the director of social work in a  large hospital where I was involved with patients and the effect of  illness and loss on individuals and family systems. My own reproductive challenges led me to develop an expertise in the area of reproductive health for men, women and couples, including infertility, pregnancy loss, anxiety and depression. My experience includes working with both men and women with reproductive issues, donors, surrogates, couples and individuals. I work closely with  agencies, clinics and other referral sources.
