Everyone can benefit from therapy, regardless of the reason – whether it's for personal growth, enhancing social and family relationships, navigating work challenges, or tackling a specific issue. I'm here to offer you a warm and confidential space where you can explore your concerns without judgment. Together, we'll work on both short-term and long-term goals, and we'll identify valuable skills to help you thrive in all aspects of life and relationships. Taking that first step is courageous, and I am confident you're capable of it.

Sessions will be custom-tailored for those embarking on the journey of parenthood. The path of parenthood can often bring forth a mix of profound emotions, including our deepest wounds and strongest desires. This space is warmly open to individuals navigating various stages of parenthood – whether you're exploring conception, grappling with fertility challenges, navigating partnerships, expecting, or already caring for infants and toddlers.

Sessions are designed to nurture increased insight, foster better communication, and deepen connections, both within yourself and with your parenting partners. Whether you prefer virtual sessions, in-person meetings, or occasional in-home visits, the support you need is readily available. Your journey is unique, and I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way with empathy and understanding.

As a registered facilitator of the Circle of Security Parenting Program, I'm dedicated to building nurturing communities for parents and caregivers. Through this program, offered individually, for partners, and in group settings, we focus on deepening your understanding of your child's emotional world. By learning to read and respond to their emotional needs, I empower caregivers to support their child's emotional development and enhance their self-esteem.

The Circle of Security Parenting Program honors the innate wisdom and desire for every child to feel secure. In group sessions, you'll have the opportunity to connect with other parents who share similar experiences and challenges, fostering a supportive network of peers. Together, we'll build a community where you can share insights, offer encouragement, and find solidarity in the joys and struggles of parenting young children – and children of any age.

My approach to working with families is grounded in attachment theory, yet it seamlessly incorporates insights from psychodynamic, developmental, trauma-informed, social learning, and cognitive-behavioral theories.

Sessions typically involve both the child and their parent or primary caregiver(s), as well as separate sessions with just the caregiver(s) and myself. The overarching objective of therapy is to nurture and fortify the bond between the child and their caregiver(s), recognizing it as a pivotal conduit for enhancing the child's cognitive, behavioral, and social development.

Additionally, treatment delves into contextual factors that may influence the caregiver-child relationship, ensuring a comprehensive and holistic approach to therapy.

Young children often utilize play as a central method for processing and expressing significant emotional content. Play therapy provides a structured platform for children to navigate distressing experiences and typical developmental hurdles, under the guidance of a therapist adept at interpreting communication through play cues. Through this therapeutic modality, children can effectively explore and address their emotions in a safe and supportive environment, fostering healthy emotional growth and resilience.

If you oversee an early childhood program or lead a prenatal yoga initiative, and you're interested in delving deeper into topics such as child development, relationships, and understanding a child's emotional landscape, I invite you to consider exploring collaboration.

Likewise, if you're part of a midwife practice and are keen to provide additional support to the new and expectant parents you serve, I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss potential partnership opportunities.

Feel free to reach out, and let's explore how we can collaborate to enhance the well-being and support of children and families together. I'm eager to engage in further conversation and explore potential synergies.
