OUR APPROACH
How Care is Delivered
✔️ Perinatal & Hormone-Informed Psychiatry
Our provider recognizes the physiological shifts that come with motherhood, including pregnancy, postpartum, menstrual transitions, and perimenopause. We offer treatment that honors those changes using integrative approaches beyond medication alone.
✔️ Comprehensive Functional Assessment
We go beyond symptom checklists to investigate the root causes of your mental health symptoms. This may include assessing nutrient levels, gut health, metabolic function, toxic burden, and more — so we can develop a precise, data-informed treatment plan.
✔️ Restorative Mind-Body Healing
We support your nervous system, energy, and sleep through evidence-informed tools like mindfulness, breathwork, and lifestyle interventions designed to build long-term emotional resilience.
✔️ Thoughtful Medication Management
When medications are indicated, they’re prescribed at the lowest effective dose and in alignment with your overall treatment goals. We view medication as a tool, not the whole toolbox.

FOUNDER & PSYCHIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONER
I am a UC San Diego-trained, board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with advanced training in reproductive psychiatry, integrative and functional psychiatry, and maternal mental health. I specialize in managing women's mental health across the reproductive lifespan, including preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, early motherhood, and perimenopause, with an integrative lens that goes beyond medication alone.
I also know what it is like to struggle postpartum. When I became a mom, I experienced firsthand how difficult this season can be, and how hard it is to find care that actually investigates what is driving your symptoms rather than simply managing them. That experience shaped what I built here.
Elle Maternal Wellness, Nursing PC was founded around the care I wished I had: comprehensive, individualized support that takes the time to understand your full picture, your biology, your history, your life, and builds a plan around that. Not a generic protocol. Not a prescription handed across a rushed appointment. A real partnership.
