Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Psychiatrists in Hyattsville, MD
Growing up in Nigeria, I was acutely aware of the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health, which often led individuals to suffer in silence or avoid seeking the care they needed. This realization sparked my passion for mental health, and I decided to dedicate my career to breaking down these barriers, providing compassionate care, and advocating for those whose voices were often overlooked. In my practice, I prioritize building trust with patients, understanding their individual needs, and involving their families in the care process to foster a more holistic approach to mental health.

I specialize in mood disorders and in psychiatric treatment for pregnant and postpartum women.
Patients reach out to me for a variety of reasons, but most of it comes down to wanting to feel like themselves, or perhaps wanting to feel like a version of themselves they hope for in the future. People with depression, anxiety, racing or intrusive thoughts, trauma, insomnia, mood swings, problems with appetite, and problems with concentration come to me for help. They are interested in finding the right psychiatric medication, supplements, and lifestyle to provide symptom relief and to be able to engage with the world around them in positive ways.

My ideal clients are adults (18+) navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, or PTSD — who have pushed through alone for far too long.
They carry unprocessed grief, burnout, and emotional exhaustion that no amount of willpower can fix. High-functioning on the outside, quietly falling apart within — always showing up for others, rarely for themselves.
They have a deep faith and want care that truly honors it, not ignores it.
They are creative souls — writers, readers, thinkers — who heal through words and are ready for a safe space to finally begin.

My clients are adults across Maryland who are tired of white-knuckling their way through anxiety, depression, or the long shadow of trauma. Some arrive having never spoken to a provider; others have carried a diagnosis for years and want more than a refilled prescription and a five-minute check-in. What they share is the wish to feel like themselves again. I combine careful medication management with therapy so the full picture gets treated, not one slice of it. We start where you are, clarify what matters most to you, and build a plan that fits your actual life. Telehealth and in-person visits are both available.

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.
