IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL SERVICES
Are you the parent of a spirited toddler and are struggling with frequent or intense tantrums? Are you worried that your child might hurt themselves when they are upset or that they might be struggling with anxiety? Are you feeling exhausted because everything seems to be a battle from getting dressed in the morning to bedtime? Are you finding yourself resorting to bribes and threats to get anything accomplished? Do you sometimes end up yelling when nothing else seems to work and are left feeling guilty?
I work with you and your family to find solutions so that you can finally have a more pleasant family life! My holistic approach is based on principles from attachment theory, respectful parenting (RIE) and mindful and conscious parenting. Being a parent can be tough and It doesn't come with a manual! Lets figure things out together
I also have a strong interest in working with pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I partner with doulas, lactation consultants, doctors, osteopaths and other professionals to offer support to parents.
