I'm a community educator at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center. For over 20 years, I have served as a birth doula, childbirth educator, lactation counselor, and preschool teacher. I’ve had the honor of walking alongside families through life's most transformative journeys: pregnancy, birth, and the critical early years of a child's development. I blend my expertise with deep compassion to navigate children’s growth and foster parents’ confidence. 

I meet every family with warmth, respect, and a genuine celebration of what makes them unique. Whether honoring cultural traditions, personal values, or daily life circumstances, I provide care as individualized as the families I serve. My specialized knowledge in perinatal emotional health, trauma-informed care, and early childhood development helps create a strong foundation where both children and parents can thrive. 

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Child Development from the University of La Verne in California. I take a holistic approach to family support, understanding that development encompasses physical, cognitive, emotional, and social growth. 

I am here to share knowledge, ease transitions, and remind you that you are not alone on your parenting journey.
