Through extensive trainings and experiences I have grown passionate about working with mother, baby and their immediate family. In addition to being a therapist I have had the honor of joining women during the process of labor and delivery as a certified birth doula. While working as a doula I volunteered my services to military families through the Operation Special Delivery program, which provided emotional and physical support for women whose spouses were deployed.
