I specialize in infertility, stillbirth, miscarriage, and pregnancy complications. I also prepare people for inseminations, IVF, and the use of donor sperm, donor eggs, and surrogacy.

Business Owner
I received my PhD in Family Social Science from the University of Minnesota. Prior to working as a therapist, I worked as a Congressional aide and lobbyist in Washington, D.C., and a health care policy analyst in St. Paul. I love photography, because art is everywhere we look. I grew up in Atlanta, GA and continue to love grits and black eyed peas
