My clinical practice focuses on caring for pregnant and postpartum individuals with psychiatric illnesses, including substance use disorders. About one in five women experiences a mental illness during pregnancy or after giving birth. Many do not receive appropriate treatment because they lack access to reliable, evidence-based information about the reproductive safety of psychiatric treatments, including medications. I have many years of experience in this subspecialty, which allows me to support patients during this joyful yet often challenging phase of life. I help them navigate the complex decisions surrounding psychiatric treatment during pregnancy and lactation. I value the opportunity to connect with my patients and to understand their perspectives on their health care. Each person brings their own priorities and goals to the psychiatric treatment relationship, and I approach care with that in mind.

The best part of my job is helping people with complicated pregnancies have a safe delivery. I'm fascinated by the incredible changes that happen in a person's body during pregnancy. Every person's pregnancy journey is different, depending on their unique health concerns and what's important to them. I work with patients and their families to create a plan that supports them and ensures a safe and happy delivery. The most important thing to me is making sure both the mom and the baby are healthy. It is an honor for me to help patients and their families through both the happy and tough times that come with pregnancy. It's also very important to me that pregnant people get care that respects their beliefs and what matters to their family.
