Navigating through life’s ups, downs, and curveballs can be stressful and confusing. It’s easy to feel even more discouraged and alone when trying to change these situations.

It would be my honor to help you and your child reconnect and redefine your parent-child relationship.
Are you having difficulties getting out of the house with your toddler or preschooler as they have a meltdown over putting their shoes on? Have you ever felt the eyes of strangers watching you as you manage your child’s anger outbursts in the grocery store? Do you ever feel consumed by guilt, worry, or frustration related to raising your child? These challenges can feel debilitating, embarrassing even, but things can get better with the right kind of supports in place.

I also work with parents of autistic children and other disabilities who face a unique and challenging parenting journey.
When we live a life of reflection, we open ourselves to the rich depths of life's possibilities. We move away from the needless suffering of unresolved pain. I help my clients examine the intricacies of their minds and relationships in a warm, supportive, nonjudgmental environment. I help them make sense of their lives and their histories to understand how they impact their current challenges. Together we build a refuge where strengths are discovered and life becomes more joyful. My training is psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, however, my style always depends on the needs of my clients and the relationship we create.

Together, with the knowledge that both your needs and your child’s needs matter, we can move toward a parenting approach that is balanced, responsive, and compassionate – to your children and to you.
Being a parent is truly a role like no other – it’s rewarding, overwhelming, fulfilling, exhausting, and so very special. There can be so much to learn and unlearn as you try your best to show up in the ways you want to with your children. Whether you’re wanting assistance with new or confusing behaviors, having difficulty setting limits or responding to meltdowns, struggling with being the parent you know you can be in tough moments, or are trying to disentangle from the way you were raised, we can take these situations step by step together.

I help women recognize and understand patterns in their relationships that keep them stuck so they can rediscover intimacy with their partner, child, or parent.
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with experience working with women who have experienced trauma to break cycles of abuse in their families. Most trauma survivors don't just want to feel better; they also want to know that they can give their families what they never had. That's why I also have sought experience working with couples, parents, and children, so I could use that knowledge to better help women build healthy relationships.

When you begin to recognize that your enjoyment of your child seems to be decreasing while feelings of being stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed are increasing, early childhood mental health services can be an effective tool to get things back on track. Healthy parent/child relationships reflect secure attachment, responsive attunement, and mutual enjoyment. But many things can interrupt that process, even typical things like the birth of a sibling or starting school. These experiences can contribute to challenging behaviors in children that are difficult to handle. Therapy can help to restore connection and understanding.

My specialty areas include couples therapy (PACT, EFT), attachment work, parenting, trauma (EMDR, TFCBT), and existential issues.
Are you seeking to learn healthier ways to be in relationship than what you learned from your family? Do you need to make sense of your story & heal from trauma?

I have worked extensively with parents, children, & couples to create more secure relationships. By exploring your experiences in relationships, we can help you create new relationship possibilities, too.
