My passion for working with parents, with an emphasis on the transition to parenthood, grew from my own personal experiences as a mother and my professional experiences working with parents in this raw stage.

It’s my belief that we can lean into the hard parts of parenting, that having a safe place to share our story is essential to growth, and that we can truly thrive in this time in our lives. I provide support for parents at all stages in their journey from preparing to build a family to adjusting to new parenthood and beyond.
