Are you navigating a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) diagnosis in Colorado?

A Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) diagnosis can feel overwhelming and life-altering. If you are searching for counseling for parents navigating a CDH diagnosis or NICU stay in Colorado, you are not alone—and support is available.

As a mother who heard the words “CDH” for the first time during a 24-week ultrasound, I understand how devastating this diagnosis can feel. In an instant, you may go from a typical pregnancy to navigating unfamiliar and overwhelming medical terms—MFM, fetal surgery, fetal care center, ECMO, FETO procedure—while facing urgent, complex decisions.

Do we pursue fetal intervention? Do we relocate for care? Where do we even begin to find support?

My daughter, Lily, was born on April 19, 2021—International CDH Awareness Day. While her condition was complicated by additional diagnoses and premature birth at 28 weeks, her life and our journey through CDH changed us forever.

In honor of Lily, it is a deep privilege to offer perinatal mental health counseling for CDH in Colorado to mothers, fathers, and couples navigating this diagnosis. I provide support for the emotional impact of CDH, including grief, trauma, anxiety, and the overwhelming uncertainty that often accompanies a high-risk pregnancy.

You deserve a space where you do not have to explain every acronym, every fear, or every decision. A space where your experience is already understood—steady, compassionate, and grounded.

If you are navigating a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia diagnosis in Colorado, I invite you to reach out. You do not have to carry this alone.
