Working with and supporting families through some of life’s most difficult transitions is what led me to a deep desire to support families during one of the biggest transitions: pregnancy and parenthood. My own journey to motherhood highlighted the critical need for specialized support in perinatal mental health. I often felt alone, as though nobody ever spoke about the things I was experiencing. Understanding the unique emotional complexities surrounding pregnancy, childbirth, and the identity shift of parenthood, I am passionate about ensuring that others don’t feel “alone” in their experiences.
I have guided parents through child loss, supported families with children who have chronic and terminal illnesses, navigated extended hospital stays as a new parent or with other children at home, and assisted parents in grieving the loss of a “healthy” child.
My commitment to this work, combined with a warm and calming demeanor, provides a safe, welcoming, and validating environment to process difficult emotions. I will work alongside you to ensure that we are using the right approach to fit your unique needs.
