Biography
As a maternal-fetal psychiatrist, I specialize in pre-conception, pregnancy and the postpartum period. I also treat women who may have suffered from infant loss, miscarriage or infertility. I strongly believe that helping the mother is the best possible treatment for the infant, and that we are working together toward a common goal.
I provide a unique approach to patient care by combining an in-depth knowledge of basic, translational and clinical research with a compassionate understanding of the needs of my patients.
I enjoy working at The Ohio State University because of the breadth and depth of my colleagues with whom I have the opportunity to develop closer relationships. I am glad to have these opportunities, as well as the ability to collaborate with many different departments and institutions.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading and being outdoors.
