Because the peripartum period deserves a unique set of therapeutic interventions and collaborations, I provide my services through home visits.
Collaborating before and after birth helps with the adjustments of this intense transitional period and to accommodate your physical and emotional state.
Having a long history in home outreach I feel comfortable and confident in the supportive nature of this setting.
