I have specific expertise working with women and families during the transition to parenthood often beginning during pregnancy and early postpartum. Using a systems oriented model, I help families navigate the joys and challenges that parenting children of all ages present, including family separations, new unions and beyond. My aim is to help my clients feel empowered, confident, and steady during an often delicate and challenging time.

These sessions are a great place for new parents to start or for existing parents to check-in. Rooted in psycho-education and what’s going on developmentally for everyone in the family, we can work through any challenges you’re experiencing within your household or with.
