Parenting Support

Being a parent is one of the most challenging life experiences you will ever have. As a Child Development Specialist, I provide support, insight, and empathy for parents who want someone in their corner as they navigate the barrage of parenting advice in today’s world. Goals include helping parents understand the meaning behind their child’s behavior, and giving them tools of how to respond appropriately based on your child’s stage of development.

I provide additional support to parents of neurodiverse children by helping determine which behaviors are developmentally appropriate vs. which are part of how their brain interprets the world, working o on parenting strategies for your specific child.

With a Mindful Parenting approach, I help parents learn how to respond thoughtfully to challenges, rather than having knee-jerk reactions take over. I also like to bring awareness to how our own upbringing can play a part in our experience of parenthood.
