“We all need someone who understands.”
-Magda Gerber
Hi, there.
I am so happy you are here! Parenthood is hard. Children often need help handling their big emotions and they look to us for support. It’s normal to not always know how to help your child. Whether your little one is experiencing meltdowns, tantrums, anxiety, new behaviors, or emotions, or if you are a new parent struggling with the adjustment of adding a new little person to your family, I am here to help.
Childhood is tricky to navigate. Emotions are big. Self-regulation is little. As a child therapist, I use play therapy to help children develop the skills they need to thrive. I use evidence-based therapeutic interventions that promote resiliency, learning, and creativity on a cognitive and neurological level. I base my work on current research supporting attachment, neuroscience, and responsive parenting.
Working with little ones requires me to offer a lot of parental support. Beyond the work I do with children, I work very closely with parents and caregivers to help them understand child development and parenting through each stage. I also work a lot with new parents, helping them understand the emotions and changes that follow bringing a new baby home. I often find that parents really want to help themselves and their child, but they just don’t know how. That’s why I have created a practice that looks at the whole child, the whole person, to create an intimate, holistic plan of care.
