You’re Doing Your Best — But It Shouldn’t Feel This Hard
Struggling with exhaustion, irritability, or “mom rage”, feeling like you’re just surviving instead of enjoying motherhood?
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression but afraid to take medication during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Worried about giving birth, feeling unprepared or still processing a traumatic birth experience?
Feeling disconnected from your baby, partner, or even yourself, wondering if you’ll ever feel “normal” again?
You asked about natural ways to feel better, but instead got a prescription and a rushed goodbye.
You’re always tired and running on fumes, assuming it’s just “mom life”—but shifts in hormones, poor sleep, and nutritional depletion could be quietly draining your energy and impacting your mood.
Noticing a surge of irritability or sadness before your period each month that leaves you feeling out of control?
Dealing with mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, hot flashes, irregular periods, and fatigue — but your doctor says your labs are normal and offers birth control?
If these sound familiar, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to be this way.
How I Can Help You Feel Like Yourself Again
You’re not alone. 1 in 5 women experience postpartum anxiety, yet as many as 75% never receive a diagnosis or the support they need.
With the right care and support, that honors your whole well-being, healing is possible.
Discover Optimal Maternal Health
Feel emotionally steady during pregnancy and postpartum—even if you’ve struggled with anxiety, depression, or traumatic birth experiences.
Deepen Your Bond with Your Baby
When your mental health is supported, you’re better able to connect emotionally and feel more present and attuned in your role as a mother.
Support Your Baby’s Development
By caring for your mental health during pregnancy and postpartum, you're also supporting your baby’s developing brain, nervous system, and long-term emotional well-being.
Strengthen Your Relationships
With greater emotional resilience, it becomes easier to communicate, connect, and feel supported in your partnerships, friendships, and family life.
Restore Your Health and Energy
Targeted care can reduce burnout, ease chronic stress, and even improve physical health—helping you feel more energized and grounded.
Rebalance Hormones
Understand and rebalance your hormones so PMDD, postpartum mood shifts, PCOS-related emotional symptoms, or perimenopausal upheaval don’t derail your life.
Areas of Focus
-
Mental health stability is one of the most important factors when preparing for pregnancy. During this stage, we’ll evaluate your current medications, explore holistic strategies, and proactively support your emotional and physical well-being to reduce the risk of mood disorders during pregnancy. You don’t have to choose between staying well and becoming a parent—we’ll create a plan that supports both.
-
Pregnancy is a time of major hormonal and emotional shifts. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, irritability, or fear around birth, I offer compassionate, evidence-based care to help you feel more grounded and supported. We’ll also discuss your birth preferences and begin preparing for the postpartum period, so you can approach this season with more confidence and calm.
-
The months after birth can feel overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally intense. If you're struggling with sadness, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, anger, or exhaustion—you are not alone. I provide care that addresses the full spectrum of postpartum mental health challenges, including postpartum depression, anxiety, rage, and birth trauma. Together, we’ll support your recovery and help you reconnect with yourself.
-
Fluctuations in hormones can have a profound impact on your mental health—whether due to PMDD, PMS, perimenopause, or postpartum changes. If you’re experiencing intense mood swings, anxiety, depression, or irritability tied to your cycle or life stage, you’re not alone. I offer compassionate, integrative support that addresses the root causes of hormone-related mood disorders and helps you feel more emotionally balanced and in control.
-
From becoming a mother to navigating the evolving demands of parenting, moving through midlife, or coping with grief and loss—major life changes can deeply affect your mental and emotional well-being. These seasons often bring identity shifts, stress, and emotional overwhelm. I provide personalized psychiatric care to help you process change, build resilience, and feel grounded and supported through every transition.
