Clinical Interests
My clinical practice includes taking an integrative approach to caring for pregnant women with "high-risk" conditions such as: mental health conditions, genetic conditions, high blood-pressure, diabetes, endocrine conditions, or fetal conditions.

Care Philosophy
I address the physical and psychosocial health of pregnant women as this can improve both maternal and child health and maternal-child health is the cornerstone of a healthy society.

Personal Interests
I enjoy biking, running, yoga, skiing, gardening, and spending time with my family which includes two children, two dogs, and a menagerie of small farm animals.

Volunteer Activities
I continue to be involved in several national and international efforts to improve pregnancy and perinatal mental health care.
