Hi there! I’m so glad you’re taking a moment to get to know me. I was born and raised in sunny Jamaica by a Jamaican mother and Nigerian father, and those roots taught me the importance of empathy, community, and caring for others with heart. My nursing journey began in surgical transplant and cardiac care, where I learned how deeply physical and mental health are connected. Over time, I realized my true passion was helping people heal emotionally and mentally—especially during their most challenging moments. As a psychiatric nurse, I had the privilege of caring for patients in crisis, and that experience strengthened my commitment

If you've been told, "It's just postpartum," "Give it more time," or "Your labs are normal"—but you know something still feels off—you're in the right place.
Many providers address only one piece of the puzzle. I take an integrative approach that connects mental health, physical health, and the nervous system. Treatment may include medication management, functional lab testing, nutrition, supplements, lifestyle strategies, and evidence-based therapy approaches tailored to your needs.

FAQ - Perinatal and Postpartum Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with perinatal mental health?
Perinatal mental health refers to the period during pregnancy and the 12 months following childbirth when individuals may experience mental health conditions such as postpartum depression or anxiety. These conditions can arise due to a combination of factors, including hormonal shifts, changes in sleep and stress levels, and relational or social challenges associated with pregnancy and caring for a newborn. Individuals with a personal or family history of mental health conditions, or those who experience complicated or traumatic pregnancies or deliveries, may be at higher risk. However, perinatal mental health conditions are treatable—often through behavioral therapy and, when appropriate, medication.

What does psychiatric treatment for perinatal mental health involve?
Psychiatrists who specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health understand the unique psychological and physiological changes that occur during and after pregnancy. They are trained in evidence-based treatments, including safe medication options for use during pregnancy and lactation. Because symptoms can range from mild to severe, care typically begins with a comprehensive evaluation to assess symptom severity and determine an appropriate treatment plan. Psychiatrists often collaborate with other providers—such as OB/GYNs, primary care physicians, and social workers—to ensure coordinated care.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in perinatal mental health?
Not all psychiatrists have specific expertise in perinatal mental health, so selecting a provider with relevant experience is important. The Psychology Today directory offers search filters to identify psychiatrists with specialization in perinatal care and allows users to refine results based on identity preferences, insurance, and location. When considering a provider, it can be helpful to ask about their experience with pregnancy-related mental health concerns, their therapeutic and pharmacologic approach, and how they coordinate with other members of a care team. It is also important to consider practical factors such as availability for appointments and insurance coverage.
