I have worked in pediatrics since 2012 but have always been passionate about lactation due to my own personal struggles while breastfeeding my son. I made it my mission to help others and have been an IBCLC (Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant) since 2021. I struggled with my supply, latching, pain, and an undiagnosed tongue tie but I also struggled with postpartum anxiety, depression and OCD. I specialize in perinatal mental health and feel that it's a vital area to take into consideration with lactation. I'm also a local La Leche League leader and feel that peer support plays a role in both success and confidence. No matter how you choose to feed your baby, I aim to provide the resources and education necessary to help you achieve YOUR goals. I look forward to meeting you and your baby!
