Research

My research focuses on evidence-informed decision making in medical and mental health care during late pregnancy and early postpartum. I also research childbirth education and integrative approaches to maternity care. I am currently developing participatory visual methods to use with women of color in constructing personal narratives across the perinatal transition.
