I help families with children from infants to 5 yrs old who are worried and fearful about whether their child is where they should be intellectually, physically and emotionally, and what they as parents can do to help.

We’ll work together to approach each milestone and encourage your child’s development using evidence-based strategies and fun activities, utilizing a routine-based approach concentrating on the whole child.

The toddler years are fun and exciting. This is when your child will learn how to play, communicate and gain independence! Expect new and complex emotions, pretend play, walking, a lot of new words and more. Activities that are good for development during the day include reading books, talking, listening, and getting on the floor with them and playing. Work on everyday skills following your routine family schedule.

Through our collaboration you will learn what to expect and strategies to encourage development to ease your fears, giving you peace of mind and the ability to help those you love. 

When it comes to life skills, starting early is the key to forming habits that stick. We will work on building behaviors in your child that will set them up for success and enable them to recognize the benefits of learning new skills to further their independence. Areas we may focus on include:

• Potty training – Find the balance between guidance and independence when helping your child learn to listen to their body, create privacy expectations, and transition to the toilet.
• Handling homework – Learn how to encourage your children in their academic responsibilities, communicate with teachers, help with assignments, and seek third-party assistance (tutoring, etc.) when necessary.
• Getting your child to eat healthy meals – Discover how to implement healthy food choices into your child’s diet, while teaching them the importance of wholesome meals.
• Children with ADD or ADHD (age three to six) – Equip yourself with the knowledge and skills you need to effectively parent your child after an ADD or ADHD diagnosis.
• Children on the autism spectrum – Learn essential information and practices to help you successfully parent your child on the autism spectrum.
• Understanding toddlers – Unravel the mysteries of this fantastically frustrating phase full of developmental milestones.
