I bring a kind, gen­tle curios­i­ty to my work with chil­dren and par­ents. Mr. Rogers said that ​“any­thing that is men­tion­able can be more man­age­able. When we can talk about our feel­ings, they become less over­whelm­ing, less upset­ting, and less scary.” I work hard to cre­ate a safe place where peo­ple can be vul­ner­a­ble – whether that’s a child who needs some tools to man­age big feel­ings or a par­ent who is look­ing for tools to improve their rela­tion­ship with their child.
