Specialty Areas
I am passionate about supporting women through their journey to become mothers. This journey to motherhood includes pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and/or adoption, and the post-partum period. I recognize that the path to motherhood can be very painful for some women. This is a time when women often need additional support, help setting boundaries, and developing coping skills to deal with stressors. I enjoy supporting women during this challenging time and helping them find ways to celebrate life even when the path ahead seems scary and uncertain.
