You planned for the nursery, the clothes, and the delivery, but nothing prepared you for how deeply overwhelming this chapter could feel. Perhaps you are navigating the heavy emotional toll of a gestational diabetes diagnosis, feeling like every number is a test you are failing. Maybe a traumatic birth or a stressful NICU stay left your nervous system trapped in that hospital room, making it difficult to feel the peaceful connection with your baby that you expected. You might simply be a loving parent in the toddler trenches, exhausted by constant behavioral power struggles and quietly wondering why your own anxiety feels so loud.
As a psychologist and developmental scientist, I bridge research with the reality of parenting. I specialize in family therapy and parent-child counseling. I help families work through parenting stress, attachment struggles, and early childhood development concerns—all while honoring your family's unique cultural values and parenting beliefs.
I know firsthand the delicate balance of managing personal anxiety while trying to raise a secure, thriving child. My practice offers a warm, collaborative space to help you feel better and be the parent you want to be. I work virtually across PSYPACT states, offering therapy, coaching, and childhood assessments. Reach out today for a free consultation.

I work with parents navigating perinatal mental health and/or toddler behavior challenges. Together, we look at what your nervous system or your child's behavior is trying to communicate, creating a practical plan to restore your peace. Most clients experience a lifting of anxiety within the first month and sustained improvement in family dynamics thereafter.
