Many women struggle silently with mood changes, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts during pregnancy and after birth. You might find yourself feeling overwhelmed, irritable, tearful, or disconnected from your baby or your partner. Some days, even simple tasks can feel impossible. You may have racing thoughts, constant worry about your baby’s safety, or guilt for not feeling as joyful or bonded as you expected to. You might even have upsetting or unwanted thoughts that feel out of character and leave you feeling ashamed or afraid to tell anyone. You're not alone in feeling this way.

I’m a Cornell trained psychiatrist and psychotherapist specializing in reproductive mental health. Together, we’ll take a thoughtful, evidence based approach to understand what’s happening and find a path forward. For some people therapy alone is enough, while others find the greatest benefit from combining anti-anxiety medication with psychotherapy.Either way, I will be in your corner to help you make informed, confident decisions about your care. It’s possible to feel more like yourself again, and to move through this time with greater clarity and confidence.

In addition to pregancy and postpartum, I have additional experience in treatment pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and pre-menstrual exacerbation (PME) of underlying disorders including depression and anxiety.
