Life is not always friendly which can leave us struggling be "okay" despite our best efforts. These experiences can haunt our thoughts and undermine our connections. Healing can seem impossible.
I specialize in helping you put the trauma in the past using several powerful tools to help you find the calm space in this chaotic world. My favorite tool is brainspotting – strange name, but powerful and gentle in bringing rapid healing around these hurts and traumas. As well as many other tools available. I encourage you to check out www.brainspotting.com for more information on this amazing approach.

In this short video, I offer a practical tool based in child development research as a free support for parents. We can't keep our kids safe from all harm, but we can create a strong relationship so that they are more likely to come to us when it happens. The underlying idea is that positive interactions promote a positive response. Creating positive interactions is one powerful tool that we can use to strengthen our connection and give our kids the experience of our attunement and co-regulation.
