Perinatal: I have extensive experience in the field of reproductive psychiatry, which means treating women at all points on the reproductive timeline including (but not limited to) pre-conception or infertility, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, and the postpartum period. I will do a time-limited set of consultation sessions (usually 1 to 3 sessions) to help determine appropriateness of psychiatric medication for you. I will make recommendations and propose a treatment plan. I may point you in the direction of a particular kind of therapy or specialized consultation. Please note: I do not personally do medication management (ongoing prescribing) at this time, however my practice now includes this option with a PharmD under my clinical supervision. Ketamine: I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for people who struggle with depression, old or recent trauma, or for those who are curious about how this medicine might be useful for them. Ketamine treatment is tailored to each person's particular needs. Number and cadence of treatments, as well as dose and route of administration (oral lozenge and/or intramuscular (IM) injection) will vary person to person. Preparation, mindset and setting are all critical to a beneficial ketamine experience, so I make sure all those ingredients are in place when I work with you. In my experience, those who get most out of ketamine treatment are people who already have a therapist and are looking for a way to augment, deepen, or shift the work they are doing in psychotherapy. Do not assume that if you are postpartum and breastfeeding that you can't have ketamine treatment. Ketamine can be a useful intervention postpartum for depression, obsessive thinking patterns, trauma, loss, or struggles with role transition. Note: Uses of ketamine noted above are considered "off-label". Ketamine treatment begins with a consultation.
