Focused on female-centered psychiatric care, I’m here to support you through life’s transitions-whether you’re trying to conceive, pregnant, navigating perimenopause, or managing conditions like PMS, PMDD, PCOS, ADHD, depression, or anxiety. As a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist specializing in women’s mental health and reproductive psychiatry, I combine expertise with compassion to provide the care you deserve. I take a thoughtful, personalized approach to medication and am committed to understanding your unique needs so you can make informed decisions about your mental health journey.
I provide medication management and psychotherapy centered on women’s unique experiences, always prioritizing your well-being. My goal is to empower you by fostering a supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and valued during life’s significant changes.
Every experience matters to me. I listen deeply, recognize unspoken challenges, and support your active role in health and growth. I’d be honored to connect and explore how we can work together to support your journey.

Therapy allows you to delve into your inner self, embrace life's subtleties, and transition from surviving to thriving. It's a valuable form of self-care, just like the care you give to others. I invite you to view therapy as a powerful resource for examining life's meaningful questions and intentionally shaping your future.
