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.
For Parents
When traditional parenting tools don’t seem to work, it’s easy to feel discouraged and lost. You are not alone—there is help!
For Churches
Churches have a beautiful heart for children but often lack the training or tools to respond to kids with big emotions or trauma-related behaviors.
For Schools
Many schools are ill-equipped to meet the overwhelming needs of the children whose bodies are filled with anxiety and trauma in the classrooms today.
For Therapists
Whether you're new to play therapy or ready to deepen your somatic work, these trainings are crafted to grow your confidence, presence, and clinical skill.
