      <image:caption>Ages 2-8 years old I offer in-office play therapy sessions for children 2-8 years old. In our 45 minute sessions, I provide a safe and supportive environment where children can express themselves, process their experiences, and develop essential life skills. Through the language of play, children communicate their innermost thoughts, fears, and aspirations, often unable to express these using conventional words alone. Play therapy utilizes a variety of creative and engaging techniques, such as art, games, puppets, sand trays, and role-playing, cooking, books and so much more. Through play children work on their global development. More specifically, social emotional regulation, language &amp; communication, social skills, and cognitive domains.</image:caption>

      <image:title>play therapy - Parenting Groups Parents of Children Ages 0-8 Years Old (All are Welcome) Currently virtual via Zoom Parenting is as hard as it is rewarding. Children have big feelings and so do we! Navigating your child’s individual development brings a host of questions and emotions and you should not have to parent in isolation. I offer these parenting groups to create an open, warm community and support system; a place that is non-judgemental; a place to share ideas; a place to vent - even a place to laugh. These groups are for parents of children aged 0-8 years old. All are welcome.  While all parents are welcome in every parenting group, I offer a group specifically for parents of children with developmental variations.

This group offers parents a unique space to not only talk about the logistical side of parenting a child with developmental needs, but also the emotional journey. Parenting group topics may include: Transitions (between activities, caregivers, and routines) Behavior (How should I adjust my expectations to the current environment?) Parenting amongst others (partners, caregivers, extended family) Sleep Potty training Creating routines and setting boundaries Sibling relationships Developmental milestones Developmental variations (diagnosed or undiagnosed special needs)  Self-care &amp; managing expectations guilt we feel as parents  How to set up play experiences Expectations of play Extending play with household items Managing educational expectations Balancing family schedules Changes in behavior and regression Language to use with your children around the changing world</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Westchester, NY - Coming Soon In the company of their peers and parents or caregivers, children will explore a variety of materials through play that engage their senses and ignite their curiosity. The primary focus of this class is to provide your little one the opportunity to engage in age-appropriate explorations. I intentionally select each material for open-exploration and discovery. The groups are facilitated by early childhood educators and social workers with extensive backgrounds in early childhood development, which allows for parents and caregivers to ask questions related to their child’s development.</image:caption>

      <image:title>consulting - Parenting Groups Parents of Children Ages 0-6 Years Old (All are Welcome) Currently virtual via Zoom Parenting is as hard as it is rewarding. Children have big feelings and so do we! Navigating your child’s individual development brings a host of questions and emotions and you should not have to parent in isolation. I offer these parenting groups to create an open, warm community and support system; a place that is non-judgemental; a place to share ideas; a place to vent - even a place to laugh. These groups are for parents of children aged 0-6 years old. All are welcome.  While all parents are welcome in every parenting group, I offer a group specifically for parents of children with developmental variations. The Developmental Variations Parenting Group supports families of young children receiving early intervention or special education or services from birth to age 5. This group offers parents a unique space to not only talk about the logistical side of parenting a child with developmental needs, but also the emotional journey. More info about Parenting Groups here.</image:title>

      <image:title>consulting - Parent Support</image:title>
      <image:caption>Parents of Children Ages 0-6 Years Old One-to-one parent support (via Zoom) for families with children ages 0-6 years old. A one hour initial session will be scheduled to gain a comprehensive family history, where I will learn about your child, your parenting style, and the questions or challenges that brought us together. Every parent leaves the initial session with at least a few strategies to get started with.  ONGOING SESSIONS (45 minutes): These sessions are designed for parents who need support both ongoing and for specific situations. My goal is to help you feel more empowered in parenting as well as to give you a developmental background geared towards the age of your child. More info about Parent Support here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>in-school support - Parenting Groups Parents of Children Ages 0-6 Years Old (All are Welcome) Currently virtual via Zoom Parenting is as hard as it is rewarding. Children have big feelings and so do we! Navigating your child’s individual development brings a host of questions and emotions and you should not have to parent in isolation. I offer these parenting groups to create an open, warm community and support system; a place that is non-judgemental; a place to share ideas; a place to vent - even a place to laugh. These groups are for parents of children aged 0-6 years old. All are welcome.  While all parents are welcome in every parenting group, I offer a group specifically for parents of children with developmental variations. The Developmental Variations Parenting Group supports families of young children receiving early intervention or special education or services from birth to age 5. This group offers parents a unique space to not only talk about the logistical side of parenting a child with developmental needs, but also the emotional journey.

      <image:caption>Parents of Children Ages 0-6 Years Old One-to-one parent support (via Zoom) for families with children ages 0-6 years old. A one hour initial session will be scheduled to gain a comprehensive family history, where I will learn about your child, your parenting style, and the questions or challenges that brought us together. Every parent leaves the initial session with at least a few strategies to get started with.  ONGOING SESSIONS (45 minutes): These sessions are designed for parents who need support both ongoing and for specific situations. My goal is to help you feel more empowered in parenting as well as to give you a developmental background geared towards the age of your child. More info about Parent Support here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>in-school support - Play Groups</image:title>
      <image:caption>Westchester, NY - Coming Soon In the company of their peers and parents or caregivers, children will explore a variety of materials through play that engage their senses and ignite their curiosity. The primary focus of this class is to provide your little one the opportunity to engage in age-appropriate explorations. I intentionally select each material for open-exploration and discovery. The groups are facilitated by early childhood educators and social workers with extensive backgrounds in early childhood development, which allows for parents and caregivers to ask questions related to their child’s development.</image:caption>
