Perinatal and Infant Psychology – Jen

Parenthood is one of life’s most transformative journeys, and sometimes, one of the hardest. Jen, a dedicated Perinatal and Infant Psychologist, offers a calm, grounded space for parents to make sense of it all.

With a Master’s in Perinatal and Infant Mental Health and trauma-informed training across multiple modalities, Jen blends compassion with evidence-based care.
