Brandi Stupica is a developmental psychologist specializing in attachment, emotion regulation, and infant temperament. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland and has published research on how early relationships shape social and emotional development. A former professor, she now works with mental health professionals, educators, and parents to apply attachment theory in practical, meaningful ways. Her work is aimed at supporting healthy relationships between caregivers and children. Brandi helped develop and test the Circle of Security Parenting® (COS-P), which is an attachment-based program that helps caregivers better understand and respond to their child’s emotional needs. Using a simple visual model, it supports the development of secure relationships by teaching caregivers to be a safe base for both exploration and comfort.

We look forward to virtually seeing you there!
