Have you been struggling with anxiety since finding out you were pregnant or becoming a mom? Maybe you're considering medication but are scared, don't know who to go to, or want to consider a more holistic approach. Many of the moms I work with can’t shut their mind off, feel constantly on edge, overthink everything, and don’t feel like themselves anymore. I help anxious pregnant and postpartum moms manage the mental load a little easier through personalized medication management using the lowest effective dose, while also addressing hormones and key nutrient imbalances that impact mood, energy, and mental clarity.
I specialize in helping you understand the risks and benefits of medication in pregnancy and breastfeeding so you can feel confident in your decisions. My approach looks beyond symptoms to address hormones, sleep, and nutrient imbalances through lab testing so we are using your data to get to the root of what's actually going on.
It can be so challenging to ask for help but reaching out is the hardest part. You don't have to continue feeling this way. You're not a "bad mom" because you are struggling. Let's get to the root of the problem so you can get back to living a life you actually enjoy. Visit the contact page on my website to get started with a free phone consultation.

While medication can be an important part of treatment, I also look at how factors like hormonal changes, sleep disruption, and underlying physiology may be affecting how you feel and how well treatment is working. Appointments are focused and practical. We look at patterns, make thoughtful adjustments, and create a clear plan so you can get back to feeling like yourself again.

At your first session, I use assessment and lab testing to look at hormones, and nutrient levels to create a personalized plan that may include medication and supplements. We use follow up visits to discuss how you are responding to treatment and make adjustments to your plan so you feel your best. I have a relationship based approach and you will never feel rushed.
