Parenting Support,
Coaching & Consultation

Working together to navigate the challenges of parenting infants, toddlers, and preschool age children.

We know that every child is different, and they don’t come with individual instruction manuals.  Sometimes we need concrete support to understand and develop new skills and strategies for addressing child behavior and development, without requiring play therapy or other longer-term psychotherapy models.  Parent consultations provide an opportunity to gain insight and knowledge on a variety of topics related to parenting young children and offer practical tools and strategies to parent more effectively.  I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I tailor services to reflect your family’s values and goals. Through parenting support and short-term coaching, my goal is to increase parents’ feelings of confidence and competence caring for their baby, toddler, or pre-school age child.

As a developmental specialist for children birth through 6 years old, I provide parents with developmental guidance and consultation for a range of developmental delays, disabilities, and neurodivergence.  I also support parents and families through the Early Intervention and Child Find process, developmental testing, and understanding comprehensive evaluation and service recommendations.

“Say yes to the feelings, even as you say no to the behavior.”
