Parenting can be especially difficult when you know something is happening with your child but are unsure how to understand or respond to it.

Parent consultation offers a space to step back from the immediate problem and look more deeply at what may be happening beneath your child's behavior.

Together, we can explore your child's emotional and developmental needs, attachment patterns, family dynamics, and the meaning behind difficult behaviors.

The goal is not simply to manage behavior. It is to help you understand your child more deeply and respond in ways that strengthen connection, security, and healthy development.

Our present lives are often shaped by experiences and relationship patterns that began long ago.

Psychotherapy provides a space to understand these patterns, explore your inner life, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.

My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and informed by attachment theory. I believe that insight, compassion, and the experience of being genuinely understood can create the conditions for meaningful and lasting change.

Availability for psychotherapy may depend upon location and professional licensing requirements.

I offer consultation and supervision for clinicians and other helping professionals interested in deepening their understanding of attachment, child development, psychodynamic thinking, mentalization, and the therapeutic relationship.

Our work may include thinking together about clinical cases, understanding complex relational dynamics, exploring the meaning behind behavior, and developing a deeper and more confident clinical perspective.

My approach to consultation is collaborative and reflective. The goal is not simply to provide answers, but to help clinicians think more deeply about their work.

I am available for selected speaking engagements, workshops, educational programs, and conversations related to attachment, parenting, child development, relationships, and psychological understanding.

My goal is to make complex psychological ideas accessible, practical, and human.
