Meet Ray

Hello, my name is Ray (she/they) and I am a labor/delivery support birth justice doula. I became passionate about doula work through my career as a clinical psychologist specializing in trauma-focused therapy and reproductive/perinatal mental health. My experience working with women who have endured birth trauma has been particularly impactful, and ultimately led to my pursuing training at Sokana Collective. I believe that doulas can help both honor and enhance the beautiful aspects of giving birth, as well as support families navigating the complexities of labor and delivery through compassionate, evidenced-based, trauma-informed care.

I look forward to walking with you on this journey.
