I am so honored for my work to be briefly mentioned in this Knowable article (Click my Biolink and select “Featured News Article,” for full article) alongside some of the most iconic researchers in my field. I have been following Dr. Jennifer Payne’s work since her seminal review paper on a “Reproductive Subtype of Depression” in 2009 - for the full length article click my Biolink and select “Featured Research Article.” I had just completed my internship, was graduating with my PhD and her work confirmed that my chosen research in women’s mental health had a bright future!

Dr. Payne, a reproductive psychiatrist at the University of Virginia is a lead investigator on the studies that led to a blood test that predicts a pregnant woman’s risk of with more than 80 percent accuracy. This is very exciting work and my biomarker research is about 10-15 years behind hers - but going strong. To read more about my research click my biolink and select “Featured Blog Post.”

October is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month and tomorrow (Oct 15th) is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day—a day when families and communities around the world pause to honor the babies and losses forever in their hearts. Each year on this day, candles are lit at 7 pm in your time zone, creating a continuous Wave of Light that encircles the globe in memory of all of the babies.

Many women who experience perinatal loss suffer emotionally. With a strong stigma around sharing miscarriage and stillbirth experiences, it is difficult for a woman to seek support without feeling shame and guilt - even though it is not her fault. Perinatal loss can have long-lasting impacts on a woman’s mental health, such as increased isolation, disrupted sleep, and appetite changes.

Wondering what to say to a loved one whose baby has died? Ask them how they are doing. Tell them you love them and you are there for them whenever they want to talk. Then check in, often.

Wondering what not to say or do? Don’t make assumptions. They may have named their baby, they may not have. Ask. Don’t start any sentence with, “At least...” There is no right way to end that sentence. It doesnt matter if they can try again, or if they have an older/healthy child. Please don’t let your fear or discomfort get in the way of supporting your loved ones.

Please consider reaching out to the Reproductive Psychology Clinic if you are suffering after a , termination, or . We have a Ending a Wanted Pregnancy group - the next series starts soon! For more information please click link in Bio and select “Cedars Sinai Groups.” Please also check out for many more support group options!

September is NICU awareness month and this Israeli invention, the , is absolutely incredible! Its the world’s first and only wearable incubator, designed for the tiniest preterm infants in their first days and weeks of life.

As we all know, separation in the NICU causes stress and phsiological instability, which in turn cause short and long-term complications for both infants, mothers and partners. Did you know that parents with babies in the NICU are 3X more likely to have and than other ?!?

Let’s talk about ( )! Some women are very sensitive to the normal fluctuations of their and the sensitivity can begin VERY early on ( ) and cause many physical and emotional symptoms.

Did you know that women are 2-3 times more likely to suffer with and in their lifetime than men, however rates are the SAME before puberty and after ! Reproductive mood and anxiety disorders have been my research and clinical interest since my first year in graduate school. I started my career 18 years ago by investigating risk for premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

Not to be confused with , PMDD is a is a chronic condition that significantly affects well-being during the reproductive years. Up to 85% of menstruating women exhibit one or more related symptoms, 20–40% report Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), and only 2–9% report PMDD, with symptoms that interfere with their functioning. Good news - there are treatments that work!!!

You can learn more about my early PMDD research by clicking my biolink and selecting “Research Gate Profile.” I also suggest checking out:
