Infant Therapy
Foster a strong foundation for your little one while reconnecting to yourself and your child as a parent
Re-establish your relationship with and understanding of your little one
The early months and year of life can feel like a whirlwind. All children enter the world after leaving the comfort and safety of their mother’s body and protection. Taking each step in tandem. Naturally, many babies and new parents have difficulty navigating one of life’s biggest transitions and find themselves experiencing varying obstacles through infancy. I will provide the space for caregivers and infants to be together while they learn to navigate this period while strengthening their attachment and relationship. Children can receive support for a range of areas including attachment based obstacles, early trauma, or developmental challenges all while working in tandem with their caregiver(s).
Caregivers will learn how to understand their child through this period to foster a sense of security, predictability, and comfort in both the child and themselves. My experience with infants, development and developmental milestones, attachment approaches such as Floortime, Parent Child Interaction Therapy and Child Parent Psychotherapy, the Perinatal/Postnatal period, and Reflective Practice will support you and your child. Additionally, I provide in home sessions where it is appropriate and can be beneficial for both parent and child.

I see babies as young as newborns. However, I am here to support at any time you and your baby feel ready.

Therapy is more successful when done in person either at my office or in your home. As a parent to a young child, there are many things you are juggling and navigating. My goal is to take the blueprint of your life and fit support into it rather than the other way around. In home sessions allow for me to see your natural environment as well as provide support in the space that you will naturally spend most of your time with your child.
-
When providing support to your little ones, I aim to feel and understand the dynamic you have with your child. So sessions will have a combination of me joining for different daytime routines, talking while with the baby to navigate any feelings and or questions you feel persist, and gentle body work with your baby. Depending on your baby’s age, body work will often look like coached engagement between you and your child where I model different skills and have you do them in real time.
-
Sessions typically last 50-55 minutes. However, depending on the time of day and your child’s needs, your baby may not be present for the full duration of the session. I am here to work into your schedule and come in during the times that feel most challenging and overwhelming.

While I am not paneled with any insurance companies due to the restrictions in mental health coverage, I can provide you with Superbills to be submitted to your insurance.
