“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”.

– Maya Angelou

For over twenty years my career has focused on supporting parents and children. 

My specialty is supporting the transition to parenthood during pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.  I have worked with adult parents as well as teen parents. Parents often have an idea in mind of how they hope to parent; things they want to do similar to how they were raised, and things they want to do things differently.

I will offer you a non-judgmental space to reflect on becoming the parent you want to be.

I provide therapy for children ages zero to five.  I believe all children need to experience nurturance, delight, and a safe place to explore.  Children often act out in ways that adults do not understand, especially when they have experienced significant life stressors.  My therapy approach with children involves the adults in their life.  Together, we will seek a deeper understanding of the meaning of your child’s behavior and enhance your relationship with your child.  I will provide empathy and support for both the child and the adults in the relationship. 

In addition to working with parents and young children, I also enjoy working with teens and young adults who are navigating their journey into adulthood. Wherever you are on your life journey, I will offer you a humble, authentic, nonjudgmental, supportive space to feel heard and encouraged to be the best version of yourself.
