Receiving support during Pregnancy

Maggie has been the most empathetic and encouraging therapist I could have asked for. Every session felt like a safe place to share on thoughts and feelings without judgement and knowing she'd help me find different ways to think and feel. With her support I've come such a long way and I will forever be grateful.

Nazaneen cannot remember a time when she didn't dream of being a doctor. It took some time away from medicine, while in business school, for her to realize that obstetrics and gynecology was her calling. She feels the most impact when she is working to empower women to feel greater ownership over their healthcare decisions. When not using every diplomatic tactic to negotiate with her toddler girls, she enjoys painting and was most proud of a family effort entitled “Lady Quarantina” inspired by lockdown.
