Heartfelt Guidance, Rooted in Science

Many people come to genetic counseling after years of appointments that have left them feeling unheard or uncertain. Maybe you’re tired of leaving healthcare appointments with more questions than answers, or you just want someone to really listen. Here, you’ll find space to ask questions, share your story, and receive clear, personalized information tailored to you, not one-size-fits-all advice.

A genetic counseling practice offers more than medical guidance; it provides clarity, compassion, and partnership in understanding your health. Whether you’re thinking about the future, planning for a family, or wrestling with worries about health issues for yourself or those that run in your family, this is a space where your questions don’t get brushed aside. You don’t have to figure things out alone. 

Through thoughtful conversation and evidence-based insight, our practice can help you understand your risks, explore your options, and make well-informed decisions based on the most current medical and genetic knowledge.The goal is simple: to help you feel heard, informed, and supported as a whole person, not just a set of test results.
