parents & young children

I have training and experience supporting parents and young children, including practicing infant and early childhood mental health and Child-Parent Psychotherapy. I use a connection-based approach to parenting support grounded in theory and research on attachment and neuroscience. I view social and emotional development as foundational to a child’s ability to master other areas of growth and learning. Child-Parent Psychotherapy is an evidence-based approach that helps young children heal from traumatic experiences in the context of a relationship with a supportive caregiver.
