Find-A-Facilitator

I work with families with children under 12 years of age. I use Circle of Security in one to one parenting setting as well as in group setting for my work as a social worker. I believe in the program and I advocate for all families need to have an understanding of their children’s attachment needs.

I am an early childhood specialist with 20 years of experience working with young children, parents, and educators. My passion lies in supporting secure parent-child relationships, particularly for families with children from birth to six years old.

As a Certified Circle of Security Facilitator, I help parents and caregivers understand their child’s emotional needs and build strong, secure attachments. My approach is strength-based, warm, respectful, and culturally sensitive, ensuring that families feel supported in their unique parenting journeys.

My background includes working in early childhood education, curriculum development, and nationwide programs supporting families with young children from birth to six years old. I have also trained and mentored early childhood practitioners and educators, equipping them with skills to build nurturing relationships with young children.

I offer Circle of Security Parenting™ (COSP) sessions in a variety of settings, including:
✅ In the comfort of your own home (individual sessions)
✅ Online sessions
✅ Physical small group sessions
✅ Collaborations with organizations to provide this course

If you’re a parent looking for guidance or an organization wanting to support families, I would love to connect with you.

Soy Trabajador Social clínico con especialidad en familia y desarrollo infantil temprano, tengo formación como Terapeuta Familiar, y trabajo el COSP en instituciones educativas, en grupos los fines de semana y de manera virtual en las noches. Me gusta mucho acompañar a los padres de familia en el camino de la crianza basada en un buen trato . Considero que el COSP es una oportunidad de aprender constantemente y enseñar a descubrir los recursos que cada padre, que cada familia tiene según su realidad.

Working as an early learning mental health consultant, I have utilized the Circle of Security information as a tool to support early learning professionals and families within the Tri-City and Walla Walla communities. I enjoy working with all families wanting to support the emotional lives of their children. I have found the Circle of Security program beneficial in my own home life and am grateful to be given the opportunity to support the parents and guardians in my community.
