FOR REFERRING PROVIDERS
Collaborative psychiatric care for your perinatal clients.
The Nest at LiveWell Psychiatry provides specialized psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults throughout the reproductive years, including preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and the transition to parenthood.
I welcome referrals and collaboration with OB/GYNs, midwives, primary care clinicians, therapists, lactation professionals, doulas, and other professionals supporting individuals and families during this period.
