SPECIALIZED CARE
FOR REPRODUCTIVE MENTAL HEALTH
The perinatal period is a high-risk window for mental health issues, and decisions about medication during pregnancy and breastfeeding can feel impossibly complicated. As a Perinatal Mental Health–Certified (PMH-C) provider, I offer in-depth conversations about the risks of both untreated illness and medication use during this season of life.
I SPECIALIZE IN SUPPORTING WOMEN THROUGH :​
-
Pregnancy and postpartum mental health
-
Medication decisions during family planning
-
Postpartum anxiety and depression
-
PMDD and hormone-related mood symptoms
-
ADHD management during reproductive transitions
-
Insomnia, anxiety, and mood disorders in pregnancy/postpartum
My approach focuses on thoughtful risk–benefit discussions, collaborative decision-making, and individualized treatment planning.
