About me

Hello! My name is Danielle and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with a professional background in victim advocacy and child welfare. My social work career was centered on supporting individuals and families during highly vulnerable, emotionally complex moments, which strongly informs my approach to pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I hope to provide calm, trauma-informed, and compassionate support, meeting families where they are at and honoring their unique values, experiences, and needs. My goal is to offer steady emotional support, evidence-based information, and advocacy so you feel informed, empowered, and genuinely cared for throughout your journey into parenthood.

I offer personalized birth doula services designed to support you throughout pregnancy and labor with confidence and care. My approach centers on emotional support, physical comfort measures, evidence-based education, and advocacy, while honoring your preferences, boundaries, and lived experiences. Grounded in a trauma-informed framework and my background in social work, I provide a calm, steady presence so you feel heard, respected, and empowered during your birth experience.
