I believe parenting a young child is one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences in a lifetime. Life experiences such as premature birth, childhood medical conditions, behavioral challenges, parent trauma, divorce and other life transitions can create additional stress on the parent-child relationship. I am here to help when challenges specific to parenting need that extra attention and support. I have over 15 years of clinical experience working parents and families with young children struggling with similar challenges. I provide parent consultation and 1:1 individual therapy to parents via Telehealth.
I specialize in early childhood mental health. I have years of clinical experience providing consultation and therapy to parents with young children around attachment, development and supporting relational connection and health. I offer short term consultation as well as longer term 1:1 individual therapy treatment.
Please know there is help out there and you are not alone. Whether it is a specific issue you'd like support with, or more long term parenting consultations please reach out. I'm happy to provide a 15 minute clinical consultation call, free of charge to see if my services are a good match to your needs.
