Family is everything, but it’s not always a tea party. Using my knowledge and experience as a therapist, mother, and a guide, I hold space for families who are looking for gentle, attuned ways to help support everyone’s growth and development. Whether you’re welcoming a new sibling, or your child’s behavior seems out of control, together we can help reduce the intensity and create more connection.

My training as a Montessori guide through the Association Montessori International gives me the unique skill set to learn through observing your child’s behavior in the classroom. I can use these observations to help you at home, identifying the root cause of your child’s baffling behaviors. Each child’s needs are unique. Together we can collaborate and create a helpful treatment plan that will help prevent meltdowns through specific tools and connection.

If we want our children to be independent, to go out and take on the world, we have to give them full confidence that they can come back to us as needed. Autonomy and connection: That’s secure attachment.
