In 2017, following the birth of my daughter and my own journey with birth trauma and postpartum depression, I utilized my experience as both a seasoned Psychotherapist and survivor of a perinatal mood disorder to create Life After Birth® Through my company, I successfully began process-oriented support circles that help birthing people transition into parenthood. In addition, I serve the same population with 1:1 therapy sessions, postpartum planning and mothers retreats. After several years of helping women through the metamorphosis of motherhood I was called to expand my offerings and grow the Life After Birth® community even larger.
