I specialize in supporting family dynamics and attachment challenges. Many times, parents and children experience disruptions in their attachment, leading to changes in their family dynamics that can have a profound impact on their physical and mental health.

A few summer daytime appointments anticipated in June. Imagine a world where growing up was easy and adulting was just as simple?
