About Me
Throughout my career, I've been dedicated to women's health and wellness, a passion that's fueled my journey. As a midwife for over a decade, I've provided comprehensive care, including primary care, gynecological services, and guiding birthing individuals through labor in various settings: hospitals, birth centers, and homes. With the honor of attending 500+ births, I've cherished every moment.
My transition into psychiatric and mental health care was driven by a desire to fill the support gap for pregnant and postpartum patients facing mental health challenges. Leveraging my background as a Certified Nurse Midwife, I initially offered foundational mental health care. Recognizing the need to better serve my patients, I pursued specialized education, becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner.
This evolution broadened my scope to care for all seeking psychiatric support. While my expertise lies in reproductive and perinatal mental health, I extend my services to general psychiatric care. My approach, rooted in patient-centered, holistic care from my midwifery background, ensures a safe, inclusive, and trauma-informed space for all.
My education & training
My academic journey includes a BA in Women's Studies from Stony Brook University, followed by midwifery training at Maternidad La Luz, where I became a Certified Professional Midwife. After working as a Labor and Delivery registered nurse, I earned a Master of Science in Nursing with a focus on Nurse Midwifery from Frontier Nursing University in 2019. My commitment to learning led me to a post-graduate certificate as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at the same institution. Continuously driven to expand my skills, I've completed specialized training to become a lactation consultant (IBCLC) and a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) from Postpartum Support International. Currently, I am pursuing a year-long fellowship in Integrative Psychiatry with the Integrative Psychiatry Institute and a specialized fellowship in Reproductive & Integrative Psychiatry.
