As a marriage and family therapist, I bring empathy to everything I do. The most important factor in shaping behavior is a patient's trust in their provider. I represent it in the words I write, using a compassionate, affirming tone to convey trust, helping patients make healthy decisions and reach their goals.
In each piece I write, I am acutely aware of how much language matters, and how readers and patients are harmed by bias, no matter how unintentional.
I am also a fan of plain language. What good are patient instructions if they are unreadable?

If you anticipate wanting additional support before, during, or after labor, you might consider working with a doula. This is a professional who could be thought of as a birth coach. They provide mental, emotional, and physical—but not medical—support during various stages of the pregnancy and childbirth experiences. The support of a doula has been shown to have benefits for the birth parent, baby, and family.
Joy is finding long-term contentment and peace within your life. In turbulent times, many people may be struggling to find joy, or it may feel like it’s in short supply.

What does it mean to be a "people-pleaser?" It often means putting the needs of others before your own. And although being attuned to the needs of others can be an important aspect of empathy and compassion, it can impact your own emotional health, especially if overused.
