Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders impact 15 to 20% of birthing people during their perinatal period.
• They are the #1 complication from childbirth.
• There are at least six subtypes of PMADs, causing a variety of symptoms.
• They often go undiagnosed and untreated, affecting the whole family.
The term "perinatal" means the period all around pregnancy, from conception until 1 year postpartum
• Mental health symptoms and disorders can impact us at any time during our lives.
• However, evidence has shown that there is a marked increase in them during the perinatal period.
I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over thirteen years of experience. I have provided mental health services to adults, children, and families. I strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients, working together to meet their personal goals,
Following my own lived experience with perinatal anxiety and OCD, I began working with the perinatal population. I received my perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C) and I'm a member of Postpartum Support International . I'm passionate about increasing awareness, reducing stigma, and providing quality mental health services to this population.
