Women's Mental Health Services in Florida
Compassionate integrative psychiatric care for every chapter of womanhood — from postpartum to perimenopause, always with a root-cause lens.
This page covers the conditions I treat and the services I offer. Whether you're navigating postpartum, struggling with hormonal mood shifts, or simply not feeling like yourself — you're in the right place.
Conditions I Commonly Treat
Perinatal & Postpartum Depression
If you've lost interest in things you once enjoyed, feel numb or detached, or find yourself crying more than usual — this may be more than the baby blues. Perinatal depression is common and treatable. And it doesn't only happen around birth. It can show up at any point — during major transitions, hormonal shifts, or even when everything seems fine on the outside.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Anxiety
If you're constantly on edge, overwhelmed by racing thoughts, or unable to relax — especially during pregnancy or postpartum — you may be experiencing perinatal anxiety. Anxiety can also show up quietly through sleepless nights, irritability, tension, or a constant sense that something's wrong. You deserve support that helps you feel grounded.
Low Energy & Fatigue
If you're constantly drained no matter how much you rest, there's likely more going on beneath the surface. For many postpartum women, fatigue is a signal of something deeper — hormonal changes, nutrient depletion, chronic stress, or postnatal depletion. Rather than brushing it off, we take a whole-person approach to understanding and treating it.
Birth Trauma & PTSD
If your birth experience left you feeling shaken, disconnected, or haunted by flashbacks, you may be experiencing perinatal PTSD. You might avoid reminders of your birth, feel hyper-alert or emotionally numb, or struggle with panic and sleep disturbances. Birth trauma is real — and it deserves real healing.
OCD & Intrusive Thoughts
Intrusive thoughts about your baby that feel disturbing or unwanted are more common than you think — and they don't mean you're a bad mom. Perinatal OCD can look like obsessive worry, compulsive behaviors, or extreme hypervigilance. You don't have to carry this alone.
PMS / PMDD & Menstrual Irregularities
When your mood crashes every month, when you go from calm to overwhelmed in minutes, or when your period shows up unpredictably — it can feel like your body is working against you. You're not being dramatic. PMDD is a real condition that deserves real treatment.
Perimenopause & Menopause
Hormonal changes in midlife are natural — but that doesn't make them easy. Perimenopause can bring mood swings, anxiety, depression, brain fog, disrupted sleep, and a feeling of being a stranger in your own body. You deserve care that looks deeper than 'it's just aging.'
PCOS & Thyroid Conditions
PCOS and thyroid disorders like Hashimoto's can significantly affect energy, mood, weight, fertility, and cognition. Because these conditions impact both physical and mental health, treatment requires a whole-person approach that looks at the full hormonal and metabolic picture.
Think of your health like a plant. Conventional medicine might trim the damaged leaves — treating symptoms so it looks better on the outside. Integrative medicine looks at the roots. The soil, the water, the sunlight. What's actually helping the whole plant thrive.
Specialized Services
Medication Management
Your safety — and your baby's — is always the top priority. Many psychiatric medications can be safely continued during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and I stay current with the latest evidence to guide you with clarity and care. We make medication decisions together, based on your goals, values, and what the research actually supports.
Restore & Rebalance Program
Our signature 12-week postpartum recovery program for the woman who wants more than a prescription. We go deep — comprehensive intake, functional labs, nutrition protocol, supplement guidance, nervous system support, and ongoing personalized care. $2,300 all-inclusive.
Herbal & Nutritional Supplements
Targeted support for nutrient deficiencies and hormone-related symptoms. We explore evidence-based options that align with your goals — whether you prefer a medication-free path or a balanced integrative approach.
Nutrition Optimization
What you eat isn't just fuel — it's information for your brain, hormones, and nervous system. I offer personalized guidance on nutrition for mood regulation, energy, sleep, cycle health, and hormonal balance. No restrictive diets. Just practical, compassionate support.
Functional & Hormonal Lab Testing
Understanding your mental health often starts with understanding your biology. Standard labs don't always tell the full story. I offer access to functional and hormonal testing that looks deeper — nutrient levels, hormone balance, inflammation, thyroid markers, and other biomarkers that affect how you feel.
Birth & Postpartum Planning
Birth is not just a physical event — it's deeply emotional. Thoughtful birth and postpartum planning is one of the most protective things you can do for your mental health. Research shows that a clear plan and a supportive network significantly reduce the risk of perinatal mood disorders.
Psychotherapy Techniques
Every stage of a woman's life brings its own emotional landscape. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based CBT integrated into every session — practical tools to help you manage anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and emotional overwhelm.

FAQs
Do you take insurance?
Yes. Bloom & Balance is in-network with Cigna and UHC/Optum. Many patients are also seen as self-pay. Contact us to confirm your specific plan.
Do I need a formal diagnosis to work with you?
No. Many women come in saying 'I just don't feel like myself' — that's a completely valid starting point. You don't need a prior diagnosis to make an appointment.
Is it safe to take medications while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Many psychiatric medications can be safely continued during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I stay current with the evidence and will walk you through the real data so you can make an informed decision — not a fear-based one.
What is integrative psychiatry?
Integrative psychiatry addresses root causes alongside symptoms. It combines conventional psychiatric care (medication when appropriate) with nutrition, supplements, functional labs, lifestyle, and psychotherapy techniques. It treats the whole person — not just the diagnosis.
Are all visits virtual?
Yes. All appointments are conducted via secure telehealth, from the comfort of your home. Available to patients throughout Florida.
Can I be seen without taking medication?
Absolutely. Medication is one option — not a requirement. Many women work with me on nutrition, supplements, functional labs, and lifestyle approaches with no medication involved. We decide together what makes sense for you.
