Originally becoming a PA for the flexibility to switch specialities, I started my PA career in psychiatry and never looked back!

During my first few years practicing in addiction and generalized psychiatry, I was also an egg donor and had a family member struggle with a perinatal mental health disorder. This encouraged me to devote my MPH to women’s health and mental health issues.

All these combined experiences became a career melting pot - ultimately inspiring me to open my own private practice specializing in reproductive psychiatry!

I got my Certificate of Added Qualifications (CAQ) in Psychiatry, certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) and also have my PCES (Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist) Certification!

I exclusively practice reproductive psychiatry including perinatal and women’s mental health and have never been more satisfied in my career! It’s truly an honor to empower my clients through pivotal, personal life transitions and guide them on their mental wellness journey.

Education & Experience
