A place where parents feel heard-not judged.

Supported-not criticized.

And reminded that they don't have to figure everything out alone.

Becoming a mother gave me an entirely new appreciation for the emotional weight parents carry every day.

Even with professional training, I learned firsthand that parenting is filled with uncertainty, self-doubt, and moments where you simply wish someone could help you make sense of what's happening. 

Sonny Lane was created to be that place.

Hi, I'm Brittany

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with master’s degrees in Social Work and Child Development, I bring together an understanding of both child development and parent well-being.

My background includes work as a pediatric social worker and developmental therapist, supporting children and families navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, emotional and behavioral challenges, and twice-exceptional (2e) profiles. I consider your child’s development, emotions, environment, and individual needs to better understand what may be driving challenging moments.

I also have specialized experience in maternal mental health and supporting parents during the perinatal period. I believe supporting children starts with supporting the people caring for them—when parents feel understood and confident, the whole family benefits.

At Sonny Lane, I believe behavior is communication. Rather than simply focusing on how to stop a challenging behavior, I help families understand why it may be happening in the first place.

Together, we look at what happens before, during, and after a behavior to identify patterns. We explore what your child may be seeking, avoiding, communicating, or learning through their responses—and how the reactions around them may unintentionally encourage certain behaviors to continue.

From there, we focus on practical ways to respond differently: reinforcing the behaviors you want to see more of, setting clear and supportive boundaries, and helping your child build new skills for communicating and coping.

I've also collaborated with pediatric speech, occupational, and physical therapists. While I don't provide those services, this experience helps me recognize how communication, sensory processing, motor development, and regulation often influence behavior and parenting challenges.

my background

my approach

Parenting doesn't come with a manual, and even the most loving, capable parents can find themselves wondering, "Am I doing the right thing?"

At Sonny Lane, I believe that every challenging behavior is a child trying to communicate a need - and behind every worried parent is someone doing their very best.

My goal isn't to give you a list of perfect parenting strategies. It's to help you slow down, understand what's beneath the surface, and leave with practical, realistic tools that fit your child, your family, and your everyday life.
