Mental Health Services

  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

    Ages 0-18

    For young child or infant support, parents/caregivers are often incorporated into the sessions

    I take a minimalist approach to medications and incorporate principles of lifestyle medicine into my recommendations.

    I see children as more than a diagnosis. I consider their context—relationships, school, sleep, nutrition, movement, and nervous system regulation.

  • Perinatal Psychiatry

    Perinatal psychiatry is not just about managing symptoms—it's about seeing the whole person in the context of one of life’s most profound transitions: “Matrescence.” My approach integrates evidence-based psychiatric care with a deep respect for the emotional, relational, hormonal, and identity shifts that occur during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting.

    I draw from a holistic, trauma-informed lens that honors your personal views around medications and/or supplements. I can also help connect you to the village you deserve and/or desire: lactation support, pelvic PT, doulas, sleep coaches, and more.

    One session preconception consults are also available if you are seeking guidance on medication safety during pregnancy/lactation

  • Adult Psychiatry

    I practice psychiatry with the understanding that mental health is deeply intertwined with our life stages, identities, relationships, and environments. Whether you’re navigating the changes of early parenthood as the non birth parents, the shifts of perimenopause, menopause, or the weight of an unexpected life transition, I take a whole-person, trauma-informed approach to your care.

    I honor all gender identities, family structures, and lived experiences.

Additional Offerings

Matrescence Coaching

  • Motherhood is not a diagnosis. It is a developmental transition. Identity shifts require care.

    Matrescence is the psychological, neurobiological, relational, and identity shift that occurs when a woman becomes a mother — whether for the first time or again.

    This transition can include:

    • Anxiety that feels unfamiliar

    • Irritability or rage that surprises you

    • A loss of confidence at work

    • Identity confusion

    • Grief for your former self

    • Overwhelm that doesn’t match your capability

    Matrescence coaching is designed to help you understand, stabilize, and integrate that shift.

  • Structure

    • Virtual

    • Limited availability

    Pricing: $175 per 50 minute session

At the heart of my work is the belief that:

  • You are the expert on your lived experience. My role is to listen deeply, offer collaborative guidance, and support you in reconnecting with your own wisdom and strength.

  • There is no “one-size-fits-all” care. I tailor my approach to your unique needs—whether that includes medication, psychotherapy or referrals to trusted specialists in other areas

  • Life is a whole-body, whole-soul experience. I acknowledge the neurobiological changes of matrescence and patrescence, the psychological impact of caregiving, and the emotional labor of identity shifts.

  • Systems matter. I advocate for policies and structures—like paid leave, equitable healthcare, and community support—that truly hold families and individuals, because we heal better when the system is set up to support us.
