BIO: I am the Executive Director of Postpartum Support International (PSI) and live in Portland Oregon. I began my career as a psychotherapist in 1987, and started specializing in perinatal mental health after recovering from postpartum depression and anxiety in 1994. I founded Oregon’s first perinatal mental health support organization Baby Blues Connection in 1994, became a PSI support coordinator in 1997, and was hired as the PSI Executive Director in 2009. I work with providers, public health systems, schools, communities, and hospitals to develop and provide perinatal mental health training curriculum and services. I provide consultation and training for others who are developing their own perinatal support services, and I love to help them formulate the particular model of support that can be sustainable in their local community. I am committed to listening, learning, and improving our capacity to serve all families who need our help. I am extremely proud to be part of PSI and to work with such courageous and passionate people around the world.
