Hi, Nice to Meet You!
My name is Christen (she/her), I am a wife, a mom to two amazing humans, a proud bonus mom, and a cat mom to three very loved feline companions. I was born and raised in Chesapeake, VA, and later relocated to Richmond, VA for my undergraduate studies at Virginia Commonwealth University. There, I earned a BS in Psychology and a BA in African American Studies before beginning my career as a trauma-informed counselor supporting underprivileged youth.
After giving birth to my son in 2019, I found myself deeply drawn to all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. That experience inspired me to blend my passion for mental wellness with postpartum care, allowing me to support families in feeling nurtured, empowered, and truly cared for during such a transformative time.
Outside of my work, I love spending quality time with my family and friends—whether that’s going out to eat, sharing meaningful conversations, or simply relaxing together. You can often find me curled up with a good book, enjoying quiet moments to recharge, and soaking in life at a slower pace.
I am deeply passionate about providing inclusive, affirming care to all individuals, couples, and family systems. Whether you are single, LGBTQIA+, a single parent by choice, parenting multiples, building your family through adoption, or anything in between, I am honored to walk alongside you. My goal is to help you heal, feel supported, and gain the tools you need to confidently thrive with your new bundle(s) of love.
