Description
I work alongside you to offer non-judgmental compassionate support during your fertility journey, pregnancy, postpartum period, and transition to parenthood.

I am empathetic and passionate about bringing meaningful services and opportunities for growth and healing. I have specialized training in perinatal anxiety and depression, OCD, birth trauma, birth story processing, and certification in perinatal grief and loss.
