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.

Before I was a nurse practitioner I was a nurse in Labor & Delivery and Mother-Baby. Before I was a nurse I was a mother with postpartum anxiety and depression. Mental health is my passion because I bring the empathy of shared experience to the table. I know how painful anxiety and depression can be, how embarrassing it might be to seek out help, how daunting the medication is, and how it feels to lose hope; to feel stuck. I do what I do because I know how effective the medications are, and how lifechanging they can be.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who believes mental health treatment should be based on the individual and involves a mutually-respectful working relationship between provider and patient. While I do prescribe medications, I am currently enrolled in an Integrative Psychiatric Fellowship program through 2022 and am learning how to incorporate more holistic treatment options such as vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements & mindfulness. I believe that good sleep, healthy nutrition, physical movement, and self care are essential for a person's well-being so these practices are also a part of our treatment approach.

My ideal clients are men, women, and adolescents ages 10+ who feel overwhelmed, unfocused, emotionally drained, irritable, or unlike themselves. Many are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, burnout, mood swings, sleep issues, school stress, PMDD, postpartum changes, or migraines connected to stress and hormones. Clients often come to me after feeling rushed, dismissed, or told their symptoms are “just stress.” I help them connect the dots between mood, focus, sleep, hormones, physical health, and daily life so we can create a clear, personalized treatment plan that supports balance, focus, and emotional stability.

FAQ - Psychiatrists for Women's Issues
How can psychiatrists help women with gender-specific mental health challenges?
Women can face a variety of unique mental health challenges that they may seek psychiatric support for, such as reproductive and perinatal mental health, postpartum depression, menopause, body image concerns, and other conditions that intersect with gender-based experiences. Psychiatrists with specific expertise in working with women can offer treatment for these conditions, often through medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. While not all psychiatrists who specialize in women's issues are female, some women find that they are most comfortable seeing a female psychiatrist, as they may feel more supported by someone who has shared life experiences and perspectives.

What does psychiatric treatment for women's issues involve?
Because women's issues encompass a variety of concerns, the course of treatment recommended by a psychiatrist will vary. However, psychiatrists will often begin treatment with an assessment of a client's current symptoms and recommend a treatment plan according to the assessment findings. Treatment often includes a combination of psychotherapy and medication, depending on the nature of the concern and the individual's goals. For example, a psychiatrist might use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, or interpersonal therapy (IPT) to help clients explore and address challenges related to identity, relationships, parenting, or past trauma. For those experiencing mood changes related to hormonal fluctuations—such as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) or perinatal depression—medication may also be considered to help stabilize mood. In many cases, psychiatrists will coordinate with other healthcare providers, such as OB-GYNs or primary care physicians, to ensure comprehensive care.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in women's issues?
Psychology Today's online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists by treatment specialty and gender, making it easy to find psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who treat women's issues and identify as female. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees.
