I focus on positive parenting, which includes parent education, support groups, and classes. Children do not come with manuals, and many find it challenging to navigate the changing landscape of raising children. Whether you are looking to refine your parenting skills or feel like you are at a loss for where to even start, I provide parents with tangible tools to help raise compassionate, happy, well-attached children.

With couples, I utilize primarily attachment focused strategies. I will work to ensure that each member of the couple feels safe, heard and validated while we gently and compassionately what is going well for you as a couple and the areasin which you are experiencing challenges. The focus of our work will be navigating current challenges, exploring supportive strategies, and finding the relationship dynamic that best fits your needs.

With children, I focus on creating a safe space to explore their experiences and emotions. In my sessions, children are encouraged to use their natural curiosity to learn coping skills that work for them. All behavior is communication and together we can decipher what message is being sent. I work closely with all important adults to ensurea cohesive, strengths-based approach to supporting your child. I have a special focus on supporting parents and mothers with infants and young children and postpartum support.

I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings (non-profit, community mental health, a school, and teaching social work at a local university) focusing on children, families, and facilitating support groups. You can expect warmth, compassion, and empathy in our time together. I use a strengths-based, systems approach to support you and your family, utilizing a variety of additional interventions based on your needs and desires.
