I help children and caregivers build skills to regulate emotions during challenging situations without shutting down or lashing out, with an emphasis on collaboration, resilience, and healing from past trauma. I offer practical, strengths-based strategies for children with ADHD, FASD, autism, and anxiety, tailored to neurodivergence, developmental needs, and family dynamics. I also support caregivers in reducing the guesswork around when to apply consequences versus when accommodations are needed.
I have worked in the mental health field in multiple capacities for the past 30 years. I'm a Registered Play Therapist and Certified Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional with a broad understanding of behavior and communication and how relationship, connection with firm, consistent, strategies can create meaningful and lasting change.
I have lived experience with ADHD personally and as a parent. I understand the challenges. Connection, consistency, and coregulation are the most important components for a child to feel safe, confident, and trusting, which leads to cooperation, but many of us are not taught how to achieve this! Let me know how I can help!

I work with children on impulse control, aggression, task avoidance, dysregulated attention, focus and emotions, irritability and any other issues interfering with success in school or relationships with friends and family. We will create a plan to help increase social-emotional intelligence, emotional and sensory regulation with consistent parental reinforcement.
