I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in early childhood social and emotional development. I use evidence based strategies to help parents nagivate disruptive behaivors and big emotions in toddlers and preschoolers. I have over 10 years of experience helping parents improve their relationship with their children and create more harmony in their home.
Parenting brings some of life's greatest joys while presenting it's greatest challenges. This sentiment is especially true in early childhood (ages 2-6). I view parenting support as a partnership. Together we pair your experise in your child with my experise in child cognitive, social and emotional development. We will work to create evidence-based and culturally tailored solutions to create actionable plans to support the parent-child relationship and set the stage for optimal development. My goal is to create a warm, judgement free environment that supports honest communication.
Parents, you are not the problem but you are key to the solution! I support parents by amplifying your existing strengths and providing feedback on growth edges to help you move toward your own goals for your family. We will let your family's values and child development science direct our approach.
Our first session will focus on sharing your family story. How did your journey start? What areas need to be celebrated and which areas need adjustment. I will ask you to complete a brief assessment to help illustrate your family's current strengths and challenges. By the end of the first session we will have outlined your goals for our work together and a plan to reach those goals.
