Accepting Highmark Health Options DE! Accepting New Clients in DE/PA! Parenting young children can be a challenging job because as soon as you figure your kids out, they change. Do you have questions or concerns about your young child's behavior? emotions and worries? sleep? eating? toileting? sibling conflicts? handling critical or chronic illness or injury? Would you like help to bring out your child's best behavior and help your child feel lovable and capable? I work with parents and other primary caregivers to give you effective tools to set your child up for success! I help you raise resilient, flexible, confident children.
A former speech therapist, I have combined over 35 yrs experience with young children and their families. I was trained in pediatric psychology at Nemours Children's Hospital and early childhood psychology at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. I provide support for the whole family by building on your strengths and what makes you unique.
Feel free to reach out if you have questions or need help with your child or children. Please leave me a voicemail, or email and I will get back with you within a couple days or sooner. I look forward to helping you and your family.
