Every little one is different, and none of them come with instructions.

​

Never has there been a truer statement! It is very common to feel isolated and frustrated when you are faced with never-ending demands of parenting. Children communicate through their behaviors, so it often needs “decoding”, particularly challenging behaviors. When children are having challenging behavior issues, it is often a situation where the children’s needs and feelings are not understood in a way that provides you, the parent, with a clear map about how to meet those needs/feelings and ultimately shift the behaviors.

​

We will work together to understand the child's behaviors, needs and feelings, grounded in child development research. You will also find a compassionate and curious space to reflect and explore your own feelings, your child's big feelings and your relationships.

I specialize in helping children (0-10) and their parents, especially with kids who constantly struggle with hearing "no," and who become explosive when faced with demands. We can work together to identify your child’s experience and needs, as well as your needs. The overwhelming and chaotic struggles can shift into moments of regulation and connection.
