"For the vast majority of women, pregnancy and childbirth are normal life events, and should be treated and respected as such. While most pregnancies and labors are uncomplicated, nurse midwives work collaboratively with obstetricians, perinatologists, pediatricians, family practice providers, and neonatologists to provide comprehensive and individualized care to those families where pregnancy or labor becomes more complicated. I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based, and family centered care throughout pregnancy. I want to teach women about their bodies and their babies growing inside! I believe that birth matters, and how we treat and talk to women during their pregnancies helps set the tone for how they will transition into parenthood. By educating and respecting women and families, and including them as an important part of their medical decisions, they become empowered and confident. I want women to feel as though they have been informed and that they are supported and respected in the choices they make."
