Certified Birth Doula
I am a certified birth doula through the International Birth Doula Institute. My passion for helping educate, support and advocate for new mothers is what led me to also lean into the birth worker field. I am currently providing virtual birth doula support for expecting mothers from pregnancy into labor. I also currently have a waitlist for in-person birth doula services in the Boca Raton area.

Psychotherapist
I received my undergraduate and Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University. I specialize in Perinatal Mental Health services ranging from prenatal mood disorders, adjustment disorders and postpartum mood disorders. I practice therapy with an integrative client-centered approach in order to provide interventions tailored for each client’s needs. I utilize evidence-based practices such as mindfulness, somatic techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy and am trained in eye-movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I enjoy working with (but not limited to) adolescents, adults, couples and families to help navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, perinatal mood disorders, maternal mental health, infertility, parenting issues and family conflict. I am passionate about helping and providing a safe space for my clients to heal and grow while integrating a mind-body-spirit connection.

Usui Reiki Master
Usui Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that is based on the belief that there is universal life force energy that can be channeled to promote healing and well-being. At this time, I do not do reiki healing or “attunements” on clients. However, I do incorporate the reiki principles and beliefs in my work to better serve my clients. I perform healing attunements regularly on myself in between clients to be able to show up, be present and hold space for others. I like to create a positive and open healing environment free of negative energy. Using the techniques from reiki and the chakra systems I pay especially close attention to somatic symptoms and how emotions and trauma are being stored physically.
