We can discuss if I would be the right fit for you. If not, I will make sure to provide you with referrals.

Prenatal, Pregnant, or Postpartum (Perinatal) Period:

Parent Support and Coaching:

Parental wellness is the cornerstone of family wellness. I love working with the family system to individualize effective parenting approaches. Children are incredibly reactive to their environments. Strengthening their environment can help to improve their well being, along with improving overall family functioning. If you have a child who is a “supersensor”, or feels their feelings strongly, I can help you to identify unique skills to improve communication and foster healthy emotional development.
