Ah, the delightful chuckle of a little one being caught up in loving arms… the moment that a couple see each other’s hearts after conflict… the relief of someone who experiences that they are not alone when they thought they might be… This is the joy that motivates my work.
I am a psychologist with over 20 years of experience supporting infants, young children, parents/caregivers, families, couples and individuals. I am rostered in Child-Parent Psychotherapy and have specialized training in infant and early childhood mental health, attachment, and early trauma and loss. My approach centers relationships as sources of healing.
I believe that we are all meant to be celebrated and to share our gifts across race, gender, sexuality and ability. I hold great respect for your wisdom and expertise about yourself and your family. I will partner with you to uncover what is here now and to discover new pathways forward.
