Biography

Bio

I am a clinical and developmental psychologist who specializes in the treatment of maternal and infant/early childhood mental health concerns. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain, where I supervise clinical psychology doctoral students. I serve as Co-Director of the Women’s Wellbeing Program at M Health Fairview. I am an instructor in the Infant & Early Childhood Education Mental Health Master’s Program at the Institute of Child Development at the University of Minnesota. 

In my clinical work, I care for women, men, and infants, primarily in the context of reproductive health or fertility challenges, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and parent-infant relationship or parenting challenges. I have expertise supporting parent-infant dyads facing complex developmental and health concerns, including parents who have experienced a traumatic delivery, and infants receiving intensive care in the NICU. I also have specialized training and experience supporting parents in the context of pregnancy and infant loss.   

I earned my PhD and MA in clinical and developmental psychology from the Institute of Child Development at the University of Minnesota. My doctoral training and research were funded by a competitive National Science Foundation fellowship. I completed a clinical psychology doctoral internship specializing in pediatric health psychology and consult/liaison service at Children’s Minnesota Hospital. I completed a post-doctoral fellowship in perinatal psychology at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. My educational experience also includes an MFA in Poetry from Boston University and a BA in English Literature from the University of Chicago. My favorite poet is Elizabeth Bishop. 

My research focuses on maternal mental health and fetal and infant developmental outcomes. 

I have co-authored 20 journal articles, including seven first-author articles. I have contributed to book chapters and encyclopedia articles, and presented at several medical conferences. My research has been recognized with an award given to the best paper published in Developmental Psychology by a first-author doctoral student.
