I have a passion for helping people and have been supporting families throughout my career. I was a special education teacher and I'm a licensed Behavior Specialist Consultant, working with families in behavioral health. These former roles, as well as my own experiences as a mother, help shape my postpartum doula practice. I recognize that each family's circumstances and needs are different and I offer non-judgemental support.
