I am a clinical social worker specializing in perinatal mental health, behavioral and emotional well-being and family support during high-risk pregnancies and fetal diagnoses. 

My work focuses on helping individuals and families navigate the emotional, practical and medical complexities that can arise during pregnancy, especially when facing uncertainty or medical challenges.

In OHSU's Fetal Care Program, I provide comprehensive psychosocial support that begins with understanding each family’s emotional needs, coping strengths and support systems. I offer supportive counseling and education to help families manage stress, process medical information and develop effective coping strategies following a fetal diagnosis. I also help connect families with important resources and advocate for their needs within the healthcare system. Throughout pregnancy, I provide ongoing, compassionate support that adapts to each family’s changing needs.

My approach to care is personalized and family-centered, with attention to the needs of the entire support system. I value walking alongside patients through the emotional challenges of the perinatal period and enjoy partnering with families to promote resilience, understanding, and well-being during this critical time.
