For over two decades, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside families during some of their most vulnerable moments—inside the walls of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). As a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, I’ve seen both the miracles and the heartbreaks. I’ve held the hands of parents staring at tiny incubators, trying to make sense of diagnoses and outcomes no one prepares you for. I’ve stood shoulder-to-shoulder with nurses and doctors working tirelessly through the night, carrying the weight of decisions and the emotional toll that can linger long after the shift ends.

These moments left a deep imprint on me not just as a clinician, but as a human being. Over time, I realized that while we’re exceptional at caring for the smallest of patients, the emotional needs of their families—and of the care teams themselves—often go unmet.

That’s why I created Sage & Stone Holistic Counseling. This practice is an extension of my NICU heart. It’s a space for healing, not just from trauma or grief, but from the silent burnout that so many caregivers carry. Whether you’re a NICU parent grappling with fear and uncertainty or a clinician or first responder who’s running on empty—I see you.

My transition into counseling was born out of the same calling that led me to the NICU: the desire to help people feel seen, supported, and whole again. With a deep understanding of medical systems and the emotional complexities within them, I offer therapy that meets you where you are—with compassion, clinical insight, and holistic tools that honor your story.

At Sage & Stone, I help:

• NICU parents navigate fear, grief, and the long journey of uncertainty and hope.
  
• Clinicians, nurses, and first responders process trauma, prevent burnout, and reconnect with their purpose without losing themselves in the process.
  
• Care teams who want to cultivate resilience and wellness through reflective support, nervous system regulation, and mindfulness-based practices.
  

Because healing doesn’t just happen in a hospital bed. It happens when we’re finally allowed to exhale.

If you’re a parent or a professional who’s been carrying more than you’ve been able to say out loud, I invite you to reach out. Let’s talk. You don’t have to do this alone.
