Practice Philosophy: I am passionate about equitable and accessible health care that is evidence-based and trauma-informed. My midwifery practice focuses on providing holistic care to individuals, families, and communities to strengthen their autonomy and encourage empowerment. I believe people have the right to make their own decisions about their bodies and that it is my role to provide a safe care environment, give accurate, stigma-free information, and tailor care to individual needs. I am committed to providing care for all people in a client-centered and inclusive way while using shared decision-making from a reproductive justice lens perspective.
