Parenting Support
Parenting is hard.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with foster and adoptive parents navigating the complexities of their child’s trauma, attachment wounds, and disrupted nervous systems. The big behaviors of their child are confusing, and none of their efforts seem to work.
Traditional parenting practices are ineffective and often make things worse. Well-intentioned advice from friends and family lacks the understanding of trauma's impact on a child’s development and can lead to more shame and isolation.
Many parents have come to me feeling defeated, at their wit’s end, and unsure where to turn next. They've tried everything. They're doing their best.
—And still, it feels like it's not enough.
If this sounds familiar, please know: You are not failing.
You are facing an incredibly complex situation that requires a different approach — one rooted in trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and deep compassion.
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy
was created to support the complex needs of children who have experienced attachment trauma, as well as their caregivers. Grounded in the principles of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, my approach focuses on equipping parents with practical tools, education, and emotional support — so you can feel more empowered, more resourced, and less alone.
In our work together, we’ll take a compassionate approach that helps you understand what's happening beneath the surface of your child’s behaviors — and how to respond in ways that foster safety, trust, and healing. We'll also focus on you — your nervous system and your capacity to remain grounded, even in the hardest moments.
Because you deserve support, too.
This is hard — and it’s also sacred work. And while the path isn’t always easy, it can absolutely be meaningful, healing, and transformative.
You don't have to walk it alone.
I’ve supported countless parents in their parenting journey, and I would be honored to support you in yours.
