Postpartum Support
For Every Mom
Hey, mama. Thank you for considering working with me. Professional and personal recognition of the gaps in maternal mental health support led me here to serve you. This page serves to outline the basics of my approach to care and policies to determine if you would like to work with me.
Please note that I am licensed only in Kansas at this time and I am only able to see patients who are physically located in Kansas or who are willing to travel to my office in Prairie Village, Kansas.
Although patients must be located in Kansas, I offer telehealth appointments if you are unable to make it to the office. To note: babies, pajamas, nursing welcome!
My practice is fee-for-service and I do not accept insurance or negotiate with insurance companies. I am able to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for partial reimbursement, although there are no guarantees for reimbursement.
I offer the following services, tailored to each unique mama and her experience:
- Thoughtful medication consideration and management if warranted.
- Talk therapy.
- Coming soon: basic lab testing and functional lab testing and custom supplement recommendations (Quest + Genova)
Learn more about my care options below or book your foundational call to get started today!
Individualized Postpartum Support Options For All Mamas

INTEGRATIVE PSYCHIATRY**COMING SOON**
This is for you if, you are relatively new to seeing a mental health provider and you are looking for additional support navigating to and through various experiences of motherhood. This can include, but is not limited to:
- Looking for general support to cope with the life changes and stress that come with a new baby
- Unexpected NICU stay or traumatic birth experience
- Loneliness
- Scary, bothersome thoughts
- Symptoms of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders
- Feeling like you have lost your identity
- Fear of going back to work after maternity leave
- Navigating loss/miscarriage
- Navigating infertility
This is for you if, you are currently under the care of a therapist who has referred you for medication initiation and management.
- Lifestyle shifts and therapy have not been sufficient to alleviate your symptoms and you are looking for support to “lift the low” in order for you to better navigate and heal through your experience.
- Your diagnosis is unclear and you are looking for a full psychiatric assessment to clarify.
- Must sign a contract that allows me to communicate with your therapist to collaborate on your care plan.

YOUR INVESTMENT
FOUNDATIONAL CALL
All patients, regardless of care plan, will begin with a Foundational Call. This call will allow us to get to know one another and make sure we agree on the best option of treatment. The fee for this call will go towards the intake session fee and will NOT be an additional fee. If we decide we are not a mutually good fit, I will do my best to provide additional resources for you.
Please keep in mind that this initial phone call will not establish a doctor-patient relationships and the intention of this call is to offer guidance regarding treatment track and answer general questions rather than offer specific medical advice.
