Summary

As a fertility counselor also trained in perinatal mental health, I have enjoyed working with clients during their fertility journeys and seeing them through the postpartum period. I began my career working with children and families before changing my focus to perinatal mental health. Becoming a mother for me was both life- and career-changing, as I appreciated first-hand the struggles that come with the postpartum period. I found a new passion in working with pregnant and postpartum clients.
