I offer female-focused psychiatric care tailored to your unique journey. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, trying to conceive, or going through perimenopause, I'm here to help. If you're facing challenges like PMS, PMDD, PCOS, ADHD, depression, or anxiety, you deserve compassionate and expert support. As a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist specializing in women's mental health and reproductive psychiatry, I take a careful approach to medication. My goal is to listen to your needs and empower you to make informed choices about your mental well-being.
I provide medication management and psychotherapy through a female-first frame: putting you, your needs, and your wellness at the forefront of our work together. I view my work as an opportunity to help women feel seen and supported through the most transformative stages of their lives.
I prioritize my patients' individual needs by truly listening when others may not, recognizing their challenges that others might overlook, and empowering them to take charge of their health, wellness, and future. To schedule a free consultation, please visit my website.
