Maternal & Infant Mental Health

I am very passionate about family therapy! Involving as many consenting family members in the process as possible can be an incredibly powerful and transformative process! Family therapy can look very different for every family, depending on many factors such as family makeup, need and availability of family members, and who is able to participate.
