My passion is to help parents and their infants and toddlers create strong, healthy relationships full of delight. I truly believe that healthy, secure relationships between parents/caregivers and their children is how we protect against mental health challenges, unhealthy substance use, and chronic or complex trauma.
Sometimes, though, this feels really hard - because it is. There is a lot of noise out there about the "best" ways to parent, and much of it is not based in science or recognition that every family is unique. Difficult pregnancies, unexpected birth experiences, relationships with our own childhood caregivers, and postpartum mood disorders influence how we show up with our infants.
My goal is to help you settle into a relationship with your child that meets the baby's AND your social and emotional needs.
