Perinatal Psychologist | Birth Trauma Specialist | Stillbirth Mother
Organizational Psychologist
Life's most profound challenges often become our greatest teachers. As both a perinatal psychologist and a stillbirth parent, I understand the devastating impact of pregnancy and infant loss from both sides of the therapy room.
This dual perspective—professional expertise woven with lived experience—shapes everything about how I support families through their darkest moments.
For over 20 years, I've specialized in the unique intersection of birth, death, and parenting. My journey into this work wasn't just academic—it was deeply personal.
When I experienced my own loss, I discovered how few therapists truly understood the complexity of perinatal grief. That gap inspired me to become the specialist I once needed: someone who wouldn't minimize this loss, who understood the medical decisions, and who could hold space for all the complicated feelings that emerge.
"Grief is not a disorder,
a disease, or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical, and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love.
The only cure for grief is to grieve."
