The perinatal period brings profound hormonal shifts, sleep disruption, physical changes, and major life transitions. I provide specialized treatment for mood, anxiety, and other psychiatric conditions during pregnancy and the postpartum period. My approach integrates psychopharmacology, lifestyle optimization, psychotherapy collaboration, and coordination with your OB/GYN — minimizing medication burden without compromising psychiatric stability. 

I believe every mother should feel empowered to breastfeed if it is her desire. I will help you weigh the risks and benefits of medications and exposures to your baby and do all that I can to help you make informed decisions and navigate the breastfeeding journey that you desire for your baby. 

Motherhood introduces ongoing emotional, relational, and identity shifts. I work with women to restore balance in their mental and physical health while navigating the demands of family life. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, burnout, or chronic stress, your care is designed to help you function with clarity, resilience, and stability.

Infertility and pregnancy loss can carry profound emotional and psychological weight. I provide compassionate, evidence-based support during seasons of grief, incorporating holistic strategies and medication management when appropriate.

For many women the first signs of menopause approaching are psychiatric symptoms like irritability, insomnia, mood swings and these can occur 5-8 years prior to menopause ( defined as 1 full year of no menses). I work with you to identify early perimenopause and utilize integrative approaches of nutrition, exercise, supplements and psychopharmacology as well as refer you for hormone replacement therapy when appropriate for management of this period of hormonal transition.
