Optimal Healing is Possible.

Integrative Psychiatric Treatment
for Women, by a Woman

I specialize in working with women who are experiencing anxiety and depression and who may feel disappointed, alone, and unheard with their past experiences seeking mental health support. I also specialize in hormonal transitions through pregnancy, postpartum, the parenting journey, and menopause.

I created OptiMind for women like you, because every woman deserves care where they feel heard, understood, and have trust in their treatment plan and provider. 

Do these sound familiar?

  • Intense emotions are getting to be a problem

  • You feel like you’re in a constant state of irritation

  • You struggle to connect with your children and feel “mom guilt”

  • You view food as comfort, or means of survival, over nutrition

  • You’ve tried an SSRI before, but haven’t felt any effect 

  • You just want to overcome the depression


    I offer an integrative approach to care including mind-body medicine, targeted therapy, medication, and more.
