I have a collaborative approach that helps parents gain a deeper understanding of their child’s emotional world, which can strengthen their relationship and communication with their child.

Parent consultations will provide guidance and support to parents. Parents learn practical strategies for supporting their child’s emotional well-being, managing challenging behaviors, and fostering positive parent-child interactions.
