THERAPY for PERIPARTUM & PARENT SUPPORT

Parenting is one of the most rewarding, often exhausting, and meaningful journeys one can experience. I support parents and parents-to-be along the way. Whether you need focused coaching and problem-solving, or deeper work for unresolved issues that have resurfaced during pregnancy and parenthood, our work together will help you understand, improve and transform your well-being and your family’s.

Parenting a secure child happens when we have internalized security throughout our development. “Those of us who have had difficult early life experiences can create coherence by making sense of the past and understanding its impact on the present and how it shapes our interactions with our children…In this way, we are not destined to repeat the patterns of the past because we can earn our security as an adult by making sense of our life experiences,” excerpt from Daniel Siegel and Mary Hartzell’s Parenting from the Inside Out.

More than six decades of attachment research has affirmed that secure children (with a sense of secure attachment to at least one caregiver) are more able to:

  • Solve problems on their own

  • Get along better with friends

  • Learn better in the school environment

  • Enjoy more happiness with their parents

  • Have better relationships with their siblings

  • Have lasting friendships

  • Know that most problems can be resolved

  • Trust that good things will come their way

  • Trust their loved ones

  • Be kind to those around them

  • Have higher self esteem
