therapy for the parent-child relationship in michigan
Therapy centered around the child.
I work with a wide range of clients: prospective parents, step-parents, foster and adoptive parents, people in polyamorous relationships, and anyone navigating challenges in how they relate to themselves and others.
Parent-child therapy is centered on strengthening the parent-child relationship.
Therapy is focused on improving attachment and communication, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where the child can thrive.
Sessions are designed to address the child’s challenges — such as behavioral concerns, emotional regulation, or trauma-related impacts — while helping parents understand and respond to their child in attuned, supportive ways.

Parenting Psychoeducation
Therapy for parents or caregivers of infants and toddlers who who have experienced trauma or have a history of attachment challenges.
I work with foster or adoptive parents seeking guidance in building strong parent-child connections, parents concerned about their child’s emotional regulation, anxiety, or difficulty soothing, or parents noticing their child may be “hyper,” out of control, or emotionally intense.
This is a place to engage with positive parenting approaches, and to be seen and supported while interacting with a child in session.
