Parenting is rewarding—but it can also feel overwhelming when your child is struggling. Maybe the tantrums have taken over your home, bedtime has become a nightly battle, or your toddler can’t separate from you without tears. Perhaps your child has sensory sensitivities, experienced early medical trauma, spent time in the NICU, or your family is navigating adoption or foster care. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I specialize in working with infants, and children through age 12, helping families better understand what children’s behaviors are communicating rather than simply trying to stop them.
As one of the few therapists in the Milwaukee area with advanced training in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (ECMH-E), I work alongside parents using play therapy, attachment-based therapy, parent coaching, and trauma-informed approaches to strengthen your relationship that last beyond the therapy room.
Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to have all the answers before reaching out. You know your child better than anyone else, and I bring specialized training to help you make sense of what you’re seeing. Together, we’ll create a plan that helps your child—and your whole family—thrive.
