Welcome to my portal... Underdogs, misfits, and outcasts, come on in. I've specialized in working with adults, from older teens up to people in late-stage life. Diagnostically, I'm especially familiar with the mood disorder spectrum, psychotic conditions (or those possibly mislabeled as such), and broadly, intense experiences or patterns that haven't been easy to define. I understand neurocognitive, hormonal, sleep, and chronic pain conditions and their interplay with mental health, and am growing a knowledge base and therapeutic tools for personality and dissociative disorders, as I believe those are far too overlooked.

Online booking & immediate telehealth availability - Many of my clients spent years wondering why focus, organization, or follow-through always felt harder than it should. They are intelligent, creative, and capable but often overwhelmed, forgetful, or running on adrenaline. Some have called themselves lazy or scattered, but deep down they know that isn’t true. They want to understand their brain, not fight it. I help adults explore whether ADHD may be part of their story and create strategies that bring clarity, confidence, and peace to everyday life.

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.
