Introduction

Are you wondering how to best support your struggling child? You may find yourself at a loss after reading and researching, wishing you could optimize your parenting intuition and do what's best for YOUR child. The infancy, toddler, and childhood years provide a unique opportunity for families looking to rise above old patterns, and I gently support you in taking hold of this moment to set your child up for a lifetime of mental and relational wellness. Whether through assessment or therapy, I facilitate you in deepening your understanding of your child and developing your natural parenting instincts. Rather than someone to fix your child, you need an expert who can empower you to guide your child through the challenges of life. My years working at Providence Saint John's with young children and families, training therapists, and developing a nationally recognized program prepared me to help you quickly get to the root cause of the challenges your child is facing. I have advanced training and years of experience treating infants and children with complex social and emotional issues. I bring calm and optimistic energy to our work, providing a deeply containing and supportive environment for families to transform obstacles and build lasting relationships. If you're looking for someone to walk with you through the challenges of parenting, you don't have to journey alone any longer. Contact me today to explore how we can work together.
