Perinatal Psychiatry
1 in 7 women suffer from postnatal depressionand 80% of women experience mood disturbances in the postpartum period. 20% of women experience mood disturbances during pregnancy. As a mother, the challenges of pregnancy and motherhood resonate only too well with me.
I’ve been lost in the chaos and found my way back. And now I’ve made it my mission to guide mothers who are facing emotional difficulties or on the brink of burnout, to make the changes necessary to reach their optimal health and functioning.
I’m certified in Mindful Motherhood and the Bringing Baby Home workshop and I use these powerful tools in combination with other interventions and medication when necessary. It takes a village and I’d love to be a part of your village. If you have been feeling increasingly overwhelmed, experiencing mood disturbances, insomnia, irritability and fatigue, reach out to me and I’ll come up with a comprehensive plan to get you back in the pink of health.
GETTING TO THE ROOT CAUSE
Depression, panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia and other mental disorders are symptoms of a larger problem and we have to get to the root cause to treat it properly. Imagine this; if you had a splinter in your foot, the first thing you would see is blood. If you put a band-aid on it, it would stop the bleeding for a while but then the pain and bleeding would start again because the splinter hadn’t been removed. But the band-aid is still required to stop the bleeding. However without removing the splinter, there will not be a permanent resolution for the problem.
Medications are like the band aid, they alleviate the symptoms and provide patients with the relief they need while we search for and treat the root causes, such as high levels of stress, nutrient poor diet, hormonal imbalance, psychological and social stressors. After removing the root cause, we still need to work on coping mechanisms. Coping mechanisms are like the proper footwear, that prevent you from getting another splinter. And that is where mindfulness and cognitive therapy, nutritional and lifestyle advice factor in. Together we will create a fail proof plan to get you well and KEEP you well. ​

BLUEPRINT FOR MENTAL WELLNESS
Conventional Psychiatry
Combined with Cutting
Edge Research
My learning journey has led me to acquire a unique skillset that boosts my patients’ mental wellness, together with the judicious use of psychiatric medications. As a medical doctor, I understand that medication and conventional therapy have proven efficacy in combating mental illness and can be lifesaving.
However, I also believe that a comprehensive treatment plan cannot stop at that. It has to involve other interventions targeted at fighting the root cause of the disease. This is especially helpful for patients who have been on medication and therapy with limited success. There are further modifications we can make to add on to their current therapeutic regime that will help them.​
