As a mom, teacher, and therapeutic facilitator, I have seen how one person can have a lasting effect on another. My passion is to help others understand and gracefully accept the intricacies of how their bodies work to lead them to healing.
I am an advocate for children sometimes labeled as “difficult,” who in reality are reacting to and suffering from very real experiences of trauma and abuse. I support teachers and educators in recognizing signs of trauma and caring well for the children entrusted to them.
Whether you're seeking relief from trauma, chronic stress, or simply looking to reconnect with your authentic self, healing is possible. The therapeutic techniques I use can help you release old wounds, process emotions, and integrate new insights that bring life and love.
Healing is not a destination; it's a journey.
Let’s walk it together.
Workshops for Schools & Educators
I provide workshops and training (CEU credits) for teachers and those in child-focused learning environments to support them in identifying and caring for children who have experienced trauma, understanding how it manifests as behavioral challenges in the classroom, and responding effectively.
Schedule or join a workshop or training for your team. Topics include:
Biology of Trauma
Attachment Theory
Trauma-Informed Environment
Triggers/Our Pasts
Our Nervous System
Implicit and Explicit Memories
Therapeutic Opportunities for Adults & Children
The best way to offer care for children in your supervision is to become aware of and heal from your own wounds and trauma.
Schedule a consultation with me to discuss opportunities in:
Storywork Coaching (Narrative Focused Trauma Care)
Art Therapy
Sound Therapy
Integrated Listening System
Safe and Sound Protocol
Rest and Restore Protocol
