Parent-Infant Psychotherapy focuses on the relationship between you and your
baby or young child (ages 0-4). These early years are a time of incredible growth and connection,
but they can also bring unique challenges. In our sessions, you and your child will meet together
in my office, and the heart of our work will be strengthening your bond and understanding each
other more deeply.
This specialized therapy can be incredibly helpful if you’re experiencing one or more of the following:
- Significant anxiety about parenting, and feeling overwhelmed or unsure.
- Depression or postpartum depression
- Difficulties with bonding or connecting with your baby or young child.
- A personal history of trauma or attachment disruption, which may be impacting your parenting experience.
- A recent trauma, loss, or highly stressful situation that continues to impact you amidst trying to look after your baby or young child
- Concerns about your child’s emotional development, behavior, or emotional well-being.
How We Work Together
Our sessions are child-led and play-based, creating a natural and comfortable
environment for both of you. During our time, I’ll help you:

- Deepen your understanding of your child’s unique developmental needs and cues:
\ Learning to “read” your child’s signals more clearly.

\ role.
- Strengthen the foundations for a strong, healthy, and joyful relationship with your
\ young child.
