I provide focused support for professionals related to early childhood, maternal and family therapy. Your specific case or general practice may benefit from consultation related to young children or parental wellness. Topics might include therapuetic or case managmenet strategies for young children, families or larger communities. I offer support to address sudden changes such as environmental disaster, parental separation, mental illness or substance use, child neglect or suspected abuse, effects of birth or medical trauma, grief and loss.
Reflective and emotionally responsive practices have inspired my work in classrooms. I support caregivers with planning and coaching tailored to their needs. This may include development of Trauma Informed Care applications for a classroom or center, integration of social emotional interventions between classroom and home, supporting challenging behaviors, or addressing big changes in EC classrooms. Consultation can be done through video, virtual or on site at local centers to fit your needs.
