Are you struggling to figure out how to best support your child? The early childhood years can be trying for parents who don’t want to repeat family patterns, and yet question their own intuition. When the answers can’t be found in the parenting books, you may benefit from guidance specific to your family’s needs. Finding someone to connect with and help deepen your understanding of your child’s inner-experiences can strengthen your relationship with your child, and also provide the empathy and support you need to feel less overwhelmed.
I specialize in working with parents and providing play therapy for children. By connecting with younger children through play, I work on a deep level that feels safe and accessible to them. I support parents with a mindful parenting approach to help parents respond thoughtfully to their children rather than react impulsively.
I provide an understanding, confidential space to contain and explore your family’s issues. Please email me to set up a free video consultation or call to see if I am a good fit for your family. We can learn more about each other and decide the best path to move forward.
