The Nurtured Tree is a child development consulting practice that supports families with young children through developmental guidance, sensory-informed strategies, behavior coaching, and individualized routines. Services are available in-home, in the community, in school/daycare, and virtually.

No. The Nurtured Tree is not a therapy or childcare provider.

We offer developmental consulting, which means we help parents understand their child’s needs, build stronger routines, and use strategies that support communication, behavior, sensory regulation, and connection.

I primarily support children from birth through early elementary age, including:

• Autistic children
• Children with language or developmental delays
• Children with sensory processing differences
• Children who need support with communication, play, or social engagement
• Children who have difficulty with regulation, transitions, or everyday routines
• Toddlers and young children with big emotions, tantrums, frequent meltdowns, or difficulty with flexibility

I also support parents with behavior, developmental questions, and practical strategies for everyday family life.

In-home visits typically include:

• Parent update on wins & challenges
• Observation of your child in their natural routines
• Hands-on modeling of strategies
• Creating a plan together based on what’s working and what your goals are
• Time for questions, coaching, and adjusting strategies

Every session is personalized to your child and family.

Yes. Virtual coaching is available for families who prefer online support or are outside of my service area. Virtual sessions include coaching, observation, and individualized strategy planning.

(Effective 12/1/25)

I support children from birth through early elementary age, and also work with parents, caregivers, and educators of children in this age group.

Families come to The Nurtured Tree for help with:

• Sensory processing and regulation

• Developmental milestones and delays

• Toddler and preschool behavior

• Tantrums, big emotions, and meltdowns

• Communication and play skills

• Supporting the developmental and sensory needs of Autistic children

• Difficulty with flexibility and transitions

• Social engagement and sibling dynamics

• Daily routines (meals, bedtime, getting dressed, outings, community skills)

No. I do not diagnose.

If needed, I can help families understand whether a diagnostic evaluation might be helpful and guide them toward appropriate providers.

Because appointment times are limited each week:

Cancellations made less than 24 hours before your scheduled appointment incur a $40 fee.

Intake cancellations less than 24 hours ahead are charged the $50 deposit.

This ensures I can continue offering consistent support to all families.

No. Many families I work with don’t have a diagnosis and aren’t necessarily looking for one. You may simply have questions about your child’s development, behavior, communication, sensory needs, or everyday routines. We can start with what you’re seeing now and identify ways to support your child and family.
