Behind every “bad” behavior lies a good reason.
I want to help you understand the reasons, so that we can find solutions together.
Remember that all behavior is a form of communication.

Welcome!
I want to tell you a little bit about my work and methods.
I base my work on the latest scientific research about socio-emotional and neurocognitive development (i.e. attachment theory, polyvagal theory and socio-emotional age) In our sessions we will observe the biopsychosocial needs during development in order to find holistic solutions.
We’ll be working with the “pedagogy of good reason”, which simply means that there is a good reason for every behavior. My goal is to help you understand the reasons in order to find solutions together.
