In addition to my BLS, STABLE, NRP, and IBCLC certifications, I hold two Bachelor of Science degrees—one in Exercise Science and another in Nursing—as well as a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C), which allows me to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care for both mothers and their babies during one of the most important transitions of life.

For over fourteen years, I worked as a registered nurse on the Mother-Baby floor at my local hospital, caring for families in postpartum, the newborn nursery, women’s surgery, and the NICU. During that time, I had the privilege of attending countless births, teaching childbirth education classes, and providing thousands of hours of hands-on lactation support—both in the hospital and in the community. I have walked alongside mothers and babies from their very first days through toddlerhood, helping them navigate feeding challenges, healing, and the early rhythms of life together.

But more than anything, this work has taught me that the postpartum period is tender, transformative, and often far more overwhelming than most families expect. As an FNP-C, I am able to care for the whole mother—not just her feeding journey, but her physical and emotional well-being. I provide evaluation and treatment for mothers experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety, offering both clinical support and a steady, compassionate presence during a time that can feel isolating.

My goal is simple: to meet you where you are, without judgment, and to walk with you as you find your footing. Whether you are navigating breastfeeding challenges, healing after birth, or quietly struggling beneath the surface, you do not have to do this alone. You deserve care that is both deeply knowledgeable and deeply human—and that is what I strive to provide.
