Supporting children, families, and professionals through the lens of trauma, play, and nervous system regulation.

Welcome -  I'm so glad you're here.


Whether you're a therapist seeking professional training and support, a parent feeling overwhelmed, or a school or church hoping to better support the children in your care, you've come to the right place.


With over 30 years of experience in mental health, I specialize in helping adults and children heal from trauma by focusing on what’s underneath the behaviors: the nervous system. Through training, coaching, and practical tools, I offer compassionate support with real-life tools and strategies. 


Explore the site to learn more about training for therapists, support for parents, and step-by-step strategies for schools and churches. We can all work together to create safe spaces for children to grow, learn, and heal.
