WAVES BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

Services

I work primarily with women who have mental health concerns, especially around reproductive mental health. This can include people or their partners who:

• are preconception or trying to conceive and have concerns about their mental health history in anticipation of pregnancy or parenting. This could include exploring benefits and risks of medications in pregnancy, proactive symptom management planning, and other questions

• are at higher risk for a pregnancy or postpartum mental health concern

• are in an infertility journey

• are deciding to adopt, or build a family in other ways

• have experienced or are considering a pregnancy termination for any reason

• are currently pregnant with mental health and/or medication concerns

• are pregnant and experiencing stress due to complications, a fetal diagnosis, or another issue

• have experienced grief through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss

• are postpartum, or the parent of an infant or young child and struggling with their mood or mental health symptoms

• are experiencing disruptive mood symptoms around their periods

• are experiencing mental health challenges around perimenopause
