Summary
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 30-plus years working with reproductive patients and healthcare professionals. I have dedicated my career to providing patients with the tools to make informed family-building decisions. The ethics of third-party family building has always been my passion, motivated by witnessing the unique evolution of reproductive policies and patient care. As a reproductive practitioner, I utilize various treatment modalities in my practice including psychodynamic theory, cognitive-behavioral therapy, crisis intervention and more.
