She has expertise in treating adults with mental health concerns, especially related to fertility, pregnancy and the woman's life cycle.
I work with adults seeking thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric evaluation and medication management—often those navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or reproductive mental health concerns. Many of my patients are already in therapy and want a psychiatrist who truly listens and collaborates on care. I’m not contracted with insurance, but I provide Superbills and Reimbursify support for reimbursement. My patients often share that they prefer working with me over in-network options because of the personalized attention, continuity, and depth of care they receive.

I support patients across reproductive transitions, including menstrual and premenstrual mood symptoms, infertility and reproductive loss, pregnancy and postpartum, PCOS, and perimenopause/menopause.
I’m a board-certified adult psychiatrist with specialized training in women’s mental health and reproductive psychiatry. I believe what women experience in their bodies and minds deserves to be understood, named, and taken seriously. After completing residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital, I pursued a two-year academic fellowship focused on women’s mental health and reproductive transitions. I then served on the Johns Hopkins faculty as Clinical and Education Director of the Reproductive Mental Health Center, providing care and training future psychiatrists.

Patients see me for: premenstrual mood and anxiety exacerbations, interest in treatment before, during, or after pregnancy/breastfeeding, pregnancy loss or going through infertility treatment, perimenopausal symptoms, to get advice on tapering or simplifying medications, or simply to better manage their lives.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist with expertise in treating and protecting women’s mental health throughout the reproductive life cycle with both medications and psychotherapy. I help women make the best decisions for themselves and their families by giving evidence-based recommendations informed by research. As a therapist who can also prescribe medications, I am in a unique position to monitor symptoms and help you make a decision about when they can be helped with therapy, sleep, exercise, communication, and other modalities and when the volume is simply too high for these first line treatments to be effective.

Taking the time and effort to seek the right treatment is an enormous feat. By using holistic, integrative psychiatric care I address challenges like anxiety, depression, or mood disorders by going beyond symptom management to uncover the root causes of these kinds of symptoms. I help people by exploring how genetics, lab results and micronutrient levels can impact an individual's mental health. I use a comprehensive approach that integrates medication management with non-traditional, evidence-based modalities. I assist and guide people to self-empowerment and self-actualization to improve their health and well-being.

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.
