About Me
I am so glad you are here. My name is Allison, and I am a Peripartum Specialist in MD, VA, and DC.
My experience and training put me in the perfect spot to help you with pregnancy and parenting concerns.
I can be a valuable resource when you prepare to become a parent.
I can help you through the challenges and joys of pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting. As a Peripartum Mental Health (PMH-C) therapist, I can help you and your partner prepare for the arrival of a new baby.
Pregnancy is full of emotional and physical changes! Together, we will work to manage them.
I can also help you plan the best “4th” trimester for your family.
In addition to my therapy practice, I have experience as a hospital social worker in a mother-baby unit. This job allowed me to help families get the very best postpartum support.
