Our children don't come with a manual.
As parents, we have the most important job in the world. For many of us, this can feel like a lot of pressure from the beginning. That's why my practice prioritizes helping families to get off to a strong start, with a special focus on new parents and their babies. I also help families with kids of all ages.
Services include:
​
-Couples counseling & coaching
-Postpartum planning
-Individual proactive support & treatment for depression, anxiety, complex trauma, attachment concerns, and other stressors that impact your ability to enjoy parenthood.
​
-Hands-on parenting support with building your understanding of your child's needs (which may include my direct observation). Building a strong attachment is essential but difficult sometimes for a host of reasons.
​
-Consultation to support sibling adjustments to new baby. Learning how to divide your attention and feel like you're "enough" is challenging.
​
-Learning tools to support your transition to the new needs, expectations, and ongoing challenges of life as a parent (and partner), while making room for yourself and your family grows.
