Originally from Philadelphia Pennsylvania, I have lived in Columbus, Ohio since 2014. I am the mother of 4 beautiful children named Ezra, Nova Stacy and Zaida who are the loves of my life! I believe in the importance of shining a bright light on mental health awareness. I chose a career in mental health to be able to provide a safe space where women can come to be encouraged, inspired and uplifted. I've created a platform where women can have an outlet to express their feelings, learn coping skills and network with a community of women who all benefit from encouraging each other. My services are available to women that are dealing with postpartum depression, seeking clarity in her life, trying to find balance, or just needs daily encouragement and positivity.

When I think about my journey as a wife, mother, and educator, it all relates to the support I provide to parents and children today. My goal as a speech-language pathologist and certified lactation counselor is to give babies an optimal start with their oral feeding and speech development. I hope to give you, as a parent, the support and guidance needed when deciding to breastfeed your baby.
I earned my bachelor's degree in Speech and Hearing Science from The Ohio State University and my master's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Cincinnati. For the past 15 years, I have worked with the pediatric population. For the past decade, I developed a deep understanding of the importance of intervening in a child’s life from birth to age three. As I felt a calling to shift my focus to provide support to mothers, infants, and toddlers, I decided to pursue advanced training in lactation counseling, and I am currently working towards obtaining the International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant credential. Additionally, I have extensive training in tethered oral tissue, assessing and diagnosing feeding and communication disorders, and pre-/post-revision therapy.
