Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
Perinatal Mental Health Certified
I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) provider specializing in perinatal and reproductive mental health. I provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults navigating preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and the transition to parenthood.
My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care with thoughtful attention to sleep, nutrition, movement, stress, relationships, and the many changes that happen during this season of life.
My goal is to help you feel more like yourself- not simply get through the day.
You don't have to wait until things feel unbearable.
Pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood can bring changes you never expected. You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, or simply unlike yourself.
These experiences deserve thoughtful, specialized care.
Concerns I can help with
Anxiety & constant worry
Racing thoughts, persistent worry, or feeling on edge.
Depression & feeling unlike yourself
Low mood, disconnection, irritability, guilt, or loss of enjoyment.
Intrusive thoughts & OCD
Unwanted thoughts, checking, reassurance-seeking, or compulsions.
Birth trauma & PTSD
Distress related to pregnancy, birth, or medical experiences.
Medication decisions
Guidance before, during, and after pregnancy, including breastfeeding.
ADHD & executive functioning
Attention, organization, overwhelm, and changing medication needs.
Sleep disruption & stress
Sleep disruption, overwhelm, and their impact on mental health.
Adjustment to parenthood
Identity, relationships, work, and adapting to life with a baby.
The Nest Approach
Specialized psychiatry. Thoughtful decisions. Care for the whole person.
Treatment starts with understanding your symptoms, history, goals, and the realities of your life—not simply choosing a medication from a list.
Psychiatric evaluation and medication management grounded in current evidence and individualized to you.
