Perinatal Mental Health in New York

Becoming pregnant, preparing for birth, and adjusting to life postpartum are profound emotional transitions. For many women, these seasons bring joy and anticipation but they can also bring anxiety, overwhelm, mood changes, and unexpected challenges. You deserve care that is compassionate, validating, and rooted in clinical expertise.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in women’s mental health, I provide trauma-informed evaluations, medication management, and emotional support for women across New York who are navigating the perinatal period.

I support a wide range of perinatal mental health concerns, including:

• Perinatal anxiety and excessive worry

• Intrusive thoughts

• Pregnancy-related depression

• Mood changes during fertility treatments

• Stress during high-risk pregnancies

• Postpartum emotional shifts

• Birth trauma and traumatic delivery experiences

• Sleep disruption and emotional overwhelm

• Identity changes and role transitions

My approach centers on gentle, collaborative care. We explore your symptoms, discuss your lived experience, and create a treatment plan that supports your wellbeing during pregnancy and after birth. Medication management is available when appropriate, and all treatment decisions are made with compassion, clarity, and respect for your values.

Whether you are navigating early pregnancy, preparing for delivery, or adjusting to postpartum life, you do not have to do it alone. Support is available, and healing is possible.
