For more than 27 years, I have worked alongside young children and families, with more than two decades specializing in early intervention and the developmental needs of children from birth through early childhood. My experience includes developmental disabilities, autism, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation, attachment, and the complex ways that children’s development and relationships influence one another. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for each child’s unique story. I believe challenging behavior is communication, relationships are central to healing, and caregivers are an essential part of a child’s emotional development.
