for little ones and the grown ups who care for them…
Art & play are their first language.
A young child may not always tell you what frightened them, or why bedtime undoes them. But they can show you. We meet children gently, where they already speak, in play, art, movement, with you right beside them.
Relationship-based therapy for children from three to eight, and their caregivers. Boulder, CO + virtual.

Big feelings are welcome here.
nothing here is too big…
We offer a comforting space where children can explore big feelings, process experiences, and build emotional resilience using the language of play, art, movement and imagination. Our approach honors each child’s unique rhythm while gently supporting caregivers with compassion, insight and encouragement.
one tender, creative moment at a time…
there is no wrong time to reach out…
Some families come with a clear concern. Others come because something feels off and they cannot name it quite yet. Both are great reasons.
What brings families to us.
I
connection & co-regulation
Strengthening the bond between you and supporting nervous system regulation for both of you. A regulated, connected relationship is the ground that everything grows from.

Attachment and early bonding challenges
Parent-child connection and bonding
Caregiver stress and overwhelm
Sleep difficulties
Separation challenges and attachment concerns
II
big feelings & big behaviors
Meltdowns, worries, fears and the storms that are hard to find words for. We help your child process what they are carrying and help you understand what their behavior is communicating.

Anger & big feelings
Anxiety, worries & fears

Outbursts & regulation

Every child’s needs are unique. If you are wondering if this is the right fit, reach out and we will think through it together.
This space is for you, too…
You are your child’s safe place and we are here to be yours, too.
Nobody arrives at this knowing how. You are welcome here exactly as you are, on the good days and on the hard ones.
Parenting can bring up so many emotions: love, worry, guilt, exhaustion and everything in between. We hold space for all of it.
You are not alone
Therapy offers time to slow down, reflect and explore how your own experiences may be shaping the way you show up with your child.
Reflective & relational
We work together to better understand your child’s behaviors, strengthen your connection and support regulation, for both of you.
Tools & insight
for the moments that stump you….
Parent Coaching.
Offered in combination with Young Child-Parent Therapy, parent coaching gives you practical, judgement-free guidance for the moments that stump you; the meltdowns at drop off, the bedtime battle, the big feelings that arrive at the hardest possible time. Together, we decode what your child’s behavior is communicating, build responses that fit your real life and practice regulating your nervous system first, so connection can follow.
REGULATE-FIRST TOOLS
DECODING BEHAVIOR
REAL-LIFE STRATEGIES
And, here is what coaching is not:
It is not a critique on your parenting, a script for perfection, or one more standard to fail. It is a steady thinking partner in your corner, rooted in regulation and Nurture Neuroscience®.
you know your child best and we help you trust that.
gently, at your child’s pace, not ours…
Sessions are warm, playful and unhurried. Your child leads through the languages they already know, and you are a part of that work, because the relationship between you is where the healing lives. Some sessions are quiet, some are loud. Both count. Together, we create a space for healing, connection and growth.
