Does this sound familiar? Your once outgoing and cheerful child has become withdrawn and anxious. The activities they used to love now seem to cause them distress. You’re noticing more frequent outbursts, or perhaps they’ve become unusually quiet. You feel a pang of helplessness as you see your child struggle with emotions they can’t yet fully understand or articulate. Or perhaps your child is having trouble making friends and is often left out during social activities at school. You’ve heard their frustration and sadness, but you’re not sure how to help them build the social skills they need to feel confident and connected.

I have a strong foundation in infant and child development, as well as nearly 20 years of working with young children and their parents together.
I enjoy working with folks who find parenting to be more difficult than they anticipated for a variety of reasons. Often I do this by working with separate sessions with you & your child and combined sessions with you and your child. If you're looking for a place to strengthen your relationship with your young child and/or understand their behaviors in new and different ways, I would love to support you. I also enjoy exploring transitions, grief & loss and how that impacts how we show up in relationships, whether that be with our own children, friends, our families, or at work.
