Meet Caroline

I specialize in perinatal mental health and work with individuals and families impacted by the unique mental health challenges associated with the childbearing years during pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood. I am passionate about maternal and paternal mental health, connecting with others, and having support during life's challenges. I believe in the innate strength and resiliency of people and feel honored to support my clients. Mental health challenges during the perinatal time can be very overwhelming. It can be hard to reach out for help, but I hope you will take the step to get the support you deserve.
