Many parents reach out when they’re not sure how to respond anymore — when their usual approaches feel scrambled, or nothing they try seems to settle things the way they hoped.

When we meet, sessions last 60–120 minutes and involve talking together about what’s been happening, reflecting on patterns, and getting curious about what’s going on for both parent and child. Sometimes I observe routines or offer language to try, but the focus is on understanding rather than quick fixes.

I work with parents who want to slow things down, reflect, and understand what’s happening in their family — not rely on reward charts, consequences, or one-size-fits-all techniques.

There’s a moment many parents reach
where advice just feels loud.

It can land like more pressure.
More ways to get it wrong.

What helps then isn’t another strategy.
It’s understanding.

Someone who can sit with the uncertainty,
without rushing it away.

Understanding doesn’t solve parenting.
But it creates enough safety to keep going.

Parenting has a way of stirring up feelings from earlier chapters of your life.
You know, the ones you thought you’d paged past, relieved to be done with, tucked neatly on the shelf.

Then your kid does something small, a shriek, a whine, a tossed toy, and suddenly that chapter is playing out again, your response mirroring a page from a book you thought you’d closed.
Where did that feeling come from?

The book is reopened, right there in front of you.
It doesn’t need to be slammed shut.
It needs to be lovingly re-read.

This is what happens when caring deeply for someone, someone with very limited reasoning skills of their own, brushes up against your own history.

This work isn’t only about raising your baby.
It’s about noticing your patterns and greeting them with curiosity and grace, sometimes while chasing your toddler around waving a diaper.

This is the work.
You’re doing it.

Those earlier chapters are part of the story you’re writing now.

Relationship-based support doesn’t rush toward answers.

It moves at the pace of trust.

It looks like staying when things feel messy.
Like not needing to fix what’s hard right away.
Like offering steadiness when overwhelm takes up all the space.

This kind of presence builds something deeper than solutions.
It builds safety, over time.

If you’re new here, welcome. 👋

I support parents from pregnancy through early childhood who are doing their best, and still finding parts of parenting harder than they expected.

Families can come to me not because something is “wrong,” but because parenting feels heavier, more reactive, or more confusing than they imagined, and they don’t want to carry it alone.

You might recognize yourself here if:

💜you want to feel more confident and connected in your day to day life with your little ones
💜parenting feels more exhausting or reactive than you expected
💜you’re unsure how to respond in ways that actually feel helpful
💜you'd like a space to think and be intentional about your parenting

When you work with me, support is shaped around your family and your real life.

Most families meet with me for 1–2 HOUR SESSIONS, typically weekly or biweekly, depending on what feels supportive and realistic. Sessions can happen IN YOUR HOME OR VIRTUALLY.

Some sessions include your child, allowing us to notice and make sense of interactions as they unfold. Other times, we meet without children so there’s space to talk, reflect, and think together. Both are part of the work, and we decide what feels most supportive as we go.

This work isn’t about following scripts or being told what to do. I don’t arrive with a preset plan for your family. Rather than focusing on fixing behavior, we slow things down and work toward understanding what’s happening beneath it — within your child, within you, and within your relationship.

Some families work with me for a short season around a specific transition. Others stay longer. We adjust as things shift.

If you’re wondering whether this kind of support might be a fit for your family, you’re welcome to reach out or schedule a consultation.

Sometimes early parenthood gets reduced to numbers.
Sleep totals. Feeding schedules. Milestones.

But what often matters just as much is what stays with you.

This piece explores how research is helping us understand the role of experience, meaning, and early bonding.

The moments when things feel broken—when your toddler's tears meet your tired eyes—are where real magic happens. It's not about being perfect or never missing a beat. It's in the repair, the reaching back toward each other after a misstep, that trust and connection grow stronger. These small acts of mending, even when messy, build the foundation for resilience and love.

Connection is never lost—it just waits for you to find your way back.

See how repair beats perfection every time with Baby and Me's support.

Early parenting isn’t just about getting through the day.

Those early moments with your child — the messy ones, the tender ones, the “I’m not sure I’m doing this right” ones — matter. Not because they’re perfect, but because they’re where relationship is built.

Connection doesn’t mean staying calm all the time or having all the answers. It means showing up, repairing when needed, and slowly learning your baby and yourself.

If this season feels overwhelming, that makes sense. Parenting was never meant to be done alone.

Ever feel like connection is broken beyond repair?

Here's the truth: repair is where the real magic happens.

Not perfection. Not getting it right every time. Not never losing your cool.

The moment you come back. The moment you say "I'm sorry, I raised my voice." The moment you sit down and reconnect after a hard morning.

That's what builds trust.

Your child doesn't need you to be flawless. They need you to be human—and to show them that ruptures can be mended, that mistakes don't mean the end, that love comes back.

Repair teaches resilience. It teaches forgiveness. It teaches that relationships are strong enough to hold the hard stuff.

So if today didn't go the way you hoped? There's still time. There's always time to repair.

You're doing better than you think.

Parenting has a way of bringing a lot to the surface.

At Baby & Me, I offer parenting support without labels or judgment. This isn’t about fixing you or analyzing every hard moment. It’s about sitting alongside you as you make sense of your baby’s cues, your own responses, and the relationship growing between you.

Early parenthood is tender… and exhausting… and sometimes involves crying in the bathroom while the coffee goes cold. You’re allowed to need support in the middle of that.

No explaining. No proving. No pressure to have it figured out.

Just space. Just care. Just connection.
