Expert Care for
Adult ADHD,
Mood Disorders &
Women's Mental Health
Compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care in Pennsylvania
I specialize exclusively in women's mental health across hormonal transitions - from puberty through menopause. Most psychiatrists treat these issues generically. I understand how estrogen, progesterone, and reproductive transitions affect your brain chemistry, mood, and mental health. Women don't have to educate me about their experiences - I already know.
