I focus in Early Childhood Needs, Adoption/Adoptee Experiences, and Parent Support Needs. Children are not mini-adults, despite their best efforts to convince us otherwise! Children are ever-changing, efficiently growing into their next phase of development every-single-day. Imagine, tripling in size and skills in just a year! To make things more complicated, children learn, grow, and communicate through play. No wonder it can be hard to fully know how to help our children through life's surprises. Throw in curve balls like significant life experiences of adoption, divorce, or a pandemic, and we've got a puzzle!
I marry the language of children (play) with the wisdom and insight of the parent to help your child heal, grow, and communicate. I believe every child's primary need is meaningful relationships that allow them to create and explore in the world. As an adoptee, I can provide specialized insight into how to nurture your child's attachment relationships.
Does parenting make you feel isolated and overwhelmed? Do your child's behaviors worry you or bring up feelings of sadness. Be it parent therapy, child therapy, and family therapy, I am there for you! You are meant to be your child's parent and I am here to support you fully in your journey!
