I welcome collaborating with other professionals working with you to provide the best care possible for your child and your family. A release of information must be signed before these conversations happen, including discussing what you would/would not like disclosed about your child's care. Please bring the other professionals' contact information with you to our session, and we will complete the release together.
Preparing For Your Visit
I designed a series of handouts and questionnaires for clients so they could prepare their children for the initial visit.
Note: providers who see children with sleep issues can also use these handouts, and are not limited to my clients. So, if you are a pediatrician, family medicine physician, pediatric nurse practitioner, social worker or therapist use the link above.
