If you are struggling to engage with your child, I can help you understand how your child sees the world and respond to their emotional needs effectively.
I specialize in therapy for infants and toddlers and provide the support their parents need.

Strengthen your relationship with your child
If you've ever thought to yourself…
"What is my child trying to tell me?"
"What is making my child so angry?"
"I wasn’t like this when I was a child.”
"Am I a bad parent?”
I can help.
I help children between the ages of 0-5 years old engage and communicate their needs through play.
play is your child's way of
talking / letting out stress / TELLING ME WHAT'S GOING ON.
I look for what they’re good at doing and expand what they’re capable of.
I prioritize relationship-building and understanding your child's perspective.
I care about how your child understands the world and I want them to be understood by adults.
I am...
culturally respective, curious, and sensitive.

NO SURPRISES ACT
Good Faith Estimates- You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises and if you have questions in regards to a Good Faith Estimate from me then please call 415-634-5180.
