My work sits at the intersection of several worlds that don't often overlap. I have a background in psychology, a master's in psychology, research experience in maternal mental health, two years working on a suicide crisis line, and over a decade of hands-on experience with infants and children. I'm also a trained birth doula. That combination means I can hold the emotional weight of this transition — not just the practical side of it. I also know how to recognize when someone needs more support than I can offer and help them find it.

My support is counseling-informed — rooted in psychology and maternal mental health, but it is not a replacement for psychotherapy or psychiatric care. My role is to provide emotional support, guidance, and a space to process the transition into parenthood, while also helping clients identify when additional clinical support may be helpful.

Yes — and I'd encourage it. Prenatal counseling is one of the most underused forms of support available to expectant parents. Pregnancy is already an enormous emotional and identity shift, and having space to process what's coming can make a real difference in how you move through it. We can begin at any point in your pregnancy and transition seamlessly into postpartum support after your baby arrives.

Yes. Partners are often the forgotten side of the birth story — navigating their own fears and feelings while trying to show up for someone else. I offer support for partners individually or alongside the birthing person, focusing on communication, boundaries, and staying connected through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. All relationship structures and family compositions are welcome.

No. I don't provide medical care or make medical decisions. My role is to offer emotional support, counseling, education, and continuity of care throughout your experience — working alongside your medical team, not instead of them.

I primarily serve families throughout the Greater Malmö region. I'm also available to travel for clients seeking support further afield (including Denmark), with additional travel fees depending on location and distance.

For virtual sessions, I'm available to clients anywhere in Sweden, as well as those based in the United States — where I received my education in New York City and where many of the families I've worked with are rooted. Virtual sessions are offered at the same rate as in-person. If you're unsure whether we can work together based on location, feel free to reach out and we'll figure it out.

English is my primary working language for all counseling and support services. All formal support and counseling-informed care is conducted in English at this time.

You can reach out anytime via the contact page or email. I aim to respond quickly — usually within one business day.
