Infant & Early Childhood Therapist Supporting Children, Parents, and Early Relationships

Therapy grounded in relationships and development.

I approach therapy with the understanding that people make sense of themselves and the world through relationships. When behavior or emotions feel confusing or hard to manage, we don’t look at them in isolation. We slow things down to understand what’s happening underneath and how past experience and stress continue to shape the present.

Together, we focus on repairing patterns, rebuilding safety, and creating relationships that feel more secure and supportive.

Why People Come to Therapy

The way we respond in the present is often shaped by experiences we haven’t fully made sense of.

Many people come to therapy because something feels hard to understand or manage—repeated patterns in relationships, emotional reactions that feel difficult to regulate, or a sense that early experiences are still shaping how they relate to themselves and others.

Working Together

  • • Infants and young children (0–5) and their caregivers
    • Parents and caregivers
    • Adults
    • Families navigating stress, transition, or disconnection

    • Early relational and parent–child therapy

    • Individual therapy

    • Family therapy

    • Parent support & consultation

  • Parent consultation is a collaborative space to slow things down, make sense of what your child may be communicating, and think together about how to support both your child’s needs and your own. This work is not about doing things “right,” but about increasing understanding, flexibility, and confidence in the caregiving relationship.
