Pregnancy & LGBTQIA+

LGBTQIA+

I am an LGBTQIA+ ally and stand against stigma. I welcome gender diverse individuals and those with the capacity to become pregnant including transmen. We know that people in your community are at risk for mental health conditions and addiction. I specialize in mood and anxiety symptoms related to gender affirming hormone therapy as well as meeting your general treatment needs. Discrimination and bias can cause depression, anxiety, isolation and feelings of being unseen and unsafe. It can also lead to delays in treatment due to fear of stigma. Your experiences deserve care and compassion. Healing is your right. Willow is a safe place for all who are seeking unbiased mental health, substance use treatment and improved wellness.

Pregnancy Care

Some women and gender diverse individuals experience changes in their mental health during pregnancy and post-partum periods. Some use substances during pregnancy and are afraid to seek prenatal care for fear of stigma and risk for involvement in child protective services leading to pregnancy complications. Accessing care for mental health and substance use treatment for pregnant people may be difficult due to stigma. Much of my expertise lies in the caring and non-judgemental treatment of pregnant and post-partum individuals. I offer a safe space for pregnant people to receive optimum care, providing expert treatment during pregnancy for conditions such as depression and post-partum depression, anxiety, mood disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder and psychosis. I also provide gold standard medications for opioid use and alcohol use disorders, which are safe in pregnancy and lactation, compassionately and discreetly. Don’t allow fear of stigma keep you from seeking support. I am here to help you and your baby thrive.
