As we know, infants and children do not come with manuals! We also know that quickest rate of brain development (learning) occurs during the first years of a child's life! This quick rate of brain development, or ability to learn, only becomes slower as we age.

As an educator and developmental interventionist with 15+ years of experience, I have a deep love and comprehensive understanding of all 5 areas of child development (adaptive, cognitive, social emotional, communication, and motor development); with additional emphasis in Speech and Language Development, and Social and Emotional Development/infant mental health (IECMH Certification). I support each child and family as individuals and meet you where you’re at - and together, we work towards your goals. I believe children deserve a childhood they can reflect on and recall moments and memories of feeling enjoyed, loved and supported; and parents deserve support to navigate the curve balls of life and the tools to develop healthy parent-child relationships and memories of joy, love, and perseverance. Helping families to enhance and improve their day-to-day lives, routines, and relationships is my passion.

What to expect when we work together :

• Optimal learning through play (in all 5 areas of child growth and development) for exceptional young minds of all abilities !
• Coaching on how to build consistency and confidence by using strategies specifically tailored to your child and family, intentionally focusing on their strengths and needs (with or without a diagnosis).
• A few popular areas of parent coaching: how to implement and teach problem solving skills, developing consistent boundaries, calming and regulating strategies, social emotional skills, positive reinforcement strategies, behavior modification in daily routines and creating safe, strong and secure parent-child relationships
• Parent support focusing on advocating for your child with confidence and accessing resources and information for a wide range of diagnoses and disabilities; offering a feeling of community and connection.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have! I look forward to working with you.
