When it is a hard time to be a human, it is exponentially more difficult to be a caregiver. The good news is that you don’t have to do it alone. Reaching out for support can bring more ease and joy to your relationship with your child (or children). You might be interested in making sense of challenging or confusing behaviors; discipline & confident limit setting; understanding & responding to your child’s crying or tantrums; supporting play, independence & learning; clarifying your values & developing a caregiving approach; setting up a supportive environment; working with your own triggers, and/or carving out time for self care.
I have worked with children & families for more than two decades as a social worker, early childhood educator and caregiver. I currently offer 1:1 support sessions (virtual/in-person) for parents of children 0-12 and in-person parent-child classes in Portland, OR. I am currently being trained in the RIE approach to respectful infant & toddler care.
My approach is one of acceptance, support & empowerment. My goal is to serve as a patient, open & compassionate guide who can listen wholeheartedly, respond with curiosity & provide resources and feedback as you desire. My guidance is backed by research, education & real life experience. I will meet you exactly where you are while gently encouraging growth.
