3 and younger

Ideally, sessions should occur when the caregiver and child are able to focus on each other with as few distractions as possible. It is helpful to find a time when other children will not be in the home.

Multiple adult caregivers are welcome to participate in a session. I will work with you to determine which caregivers play an active role and which ones are observing or to take turns with different adults engaging with the child.

Each session will be tailored to your specific needs. Generally, sessions will include conversation about the challenges you want to address. I will also spend time observing interactions between caregiver(s) and the child. I may also engage directly with your child and ask you to observe. We will then discuss various ways to engage and guide your child so that interactions are more harmonious. At times, it can be helpful to video interactions and review them together.

Ideally, sessions are held in your home. There may be times when it is useful to meet somewhere else and I will work with you to determine the best location. I do not have an office based location.

During the initial session(s) it is best to focus on one child at a time. There may be times when it would be helpful to include other children and I will work with you to determine how to go about that.

Sessions are 90 minutes. I have learned from experience that an hour is rarely sufficient.
