I’m Jessica Miller, a mom to a little one and, probably like many of you, someone who has struggled with figuring out how to get a child to sleep “like a baby”. After learning through my own trial and error experiences, talking to other mothers, pediatricians and others in the field, I started helping friends who were having trouble getting their kids to sleep. I soon realized it was my calling to
help and encourage others in the same boat. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland. This is a person who counsels people by understanding their mental health needs and how to find coping and behavior management strategies to reach their greatest potential. I have a masters degree in School Counseling and a post masters in Clinical Community Counseling from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. I have worked at Kennedy Krieger Institute, Howard County Public Schools and outpatient mental health settings with children and parents for over 10 years. To use my skills in a transferable way, I studied and trained to become a certified sleep consultant. I LOVE working with people and have a passion for families with little ones. I believe that, like many things, sleep is a learned behavior and when given the right tools, time, space and guidance, little ones can learn to get the rest that they need; a lifelong skill! I also am a strong believer in individualization- what works for some people may not work for others. Because of that, I know the value of taking the time to listen and learn about all of my clients’ own personal stories and experiences as well as their parenting styles and beliefs. This enables us to work together to come up with a plan that everyone is comfortable with implementing. I recognize that sleep learning is not a one size fits all deal, and since babies and toddlers are human, they are constantly evolving. Therefore, we need to be mindful of things that may impact their sleep and adjust accordingly. I view the sleep consultant- parent relationship as a partnership where we will work together to reach the goals you would like to achieve regarding your child’s sleep needs. I look forward to hearing from you and hope we can soon work on getting more ZZZ’s for your tiny ones (and their mom’s and dad’s, too)! Feel free to call me for a FREE 15 minute phone consultation to discuss your family's sleep needs and find out more about how Tiny ZZZ Sleep Consulting can help you today!
