I provide compassionate, trauma-informed, non-medical support that complements the care families receive from their healthcare team, with a focus on emotional support, education, communication, and helping families feel informed and supported throughout their experience.
Families Who Benefit
High-Risk Pregnancy
Families navigating a high-risk pregnancy, antepartum hospitalization, pregnancy complications, or the possibility of an early delivery or NICU stay.
Families adjusting to a NICU admission who may benefit from additional emotional support, education, guidance, and help navigating the NICU experience.
NICU Families
Transition to Home
Families preparing for NICU discharge or adjusting to caring for their baby at home after a NICU stay.
Working Alongside the Care Team
My role is designed to complement, not replace, the healthcare team. I provide non-medical support while respecting established care plans and each family's relationship with their care team.
I do not provide medical advice, make clinical decisions, interfere with care plans, or perform medical charting.
