For pregnant couples and new parents

This is such a precious time. It's full of joy, excitement, and vulnerability, and everything is new. As the two of you become three, the whole dynamic of your relationship changes.

Understanding and anticipating the challenges ahead helps you move through pregnancy, childbirth, and bringing baby home with more ease. I'm trained in child development and pre and perinatal psychology, and I specialize in supporting pregnant couples and new parents.

Together we'll focus on understanding your own emotions and needs, understanding what your baby needs, strengthening the security of your bond, learning to turn toward and rely on each other when you need support, and becoming the most effective caregivers you can be.

"Helping families nurture and strengthen their bonds of love and caregiving."
