Wondering how to help your child be well rounded?
With a background in elementary education & mental health, this is an area I am fascinated by & passionate about. So many of us are too familiar with this type of person & may have wondered how they evolved. Here's a glimpse. Reach out for a complimentary consultation.

Due to the nature of my work, it's rare that you all get to hear from one another regarding what I do and how it helps. I was given permission to quote a mother who reached out not long ago and after just a few sessions together, her daughter was ready for graduation. The length of time varies greatly from person to person and the level of care and depth of the need. The important thing is to know when we could use backup to heal so we can live our best possible lives with peace and ease.

"She said the tools you gave her were great. I noticed she's not so anxious. She used to always shake her leg and tap her foot. I noticed a big difference. She seems more relaxed. Thank you so much." - Anonymous

Over the past two weeks, I have had four people graduate from our work together, which means I now have openings. Summer is a great time to prioritize your mental and socioemotional wellness since there is often more time to do so and I am happy to help. Reach out to secure your spot while it's available.

Wish I had learned and practiced this when mine were little and that I had learned this in school when becoming a teacher & later a therapist. It's not too late to learn new, useful skills. I love how this is presented in logical, doable language.

With so much out there, here are a couple of stories that can help kids know how to keep themselves safe from seeing harmful images and what to do if they come across po*******hy. One is for younger kids and the other for older. These types of tools and resources can help prevent harm and open the door for talking about these things with a trusted adult.

The impact of po*******hy is devastating. It’s time we have p**n critical conversations with our kids about the impact! ⁣⁣⁣⁣Kristen Jenson and her incredible...

Be gentle with yourself & others so help can be received if & when needed to be able to happily hop along... 🐸 Scroll below for a little story.

The other day this little frog hopped onto my pant leg & listened while I gently talked to it, observing aloud what I noticed about it (it's colors, the racing stripes along its sides, the way it breathed), all while using a caring, present tone (this also works with squirrels, lizards, birds, & people, of course).

Others with whom I was with tried to get it to hop onto them, but it turned away, not quite convinced it was a good idea. It had a tiny piece of mulch on its face and with reassurance, I asked it permission to allow me to help remove this & it let me. Would the mulch have gone away on its own? Yes, the next time it hopped in the little lake there, but that's not the point here.

The energy we bring when dealing with others big or small lets others know we care and that it's safe to trust us with helping them when needed.

The more we have done our work to be truly at peace, the more those around us sense this safety and allow us to help them to be at peace too.

If you or someone you know could use a little or a lot of help, feel free to reach out or share with someone to let them know you care. Text @ 352-284-5591 to schedule a complimentary 15 minute consult or reach out via email at [email protected] & please include a quick text to let me know you reached out. Ribbit!! 🐸

From the mountains, I write you this reflection: Know that regardless of your situation, when there is something causing internal distress due to a persistent problem, something needs to change. The sooner you choose to get help when you're not sure how to solve it yourself, the better.

Life is to be enjoyed with people that bring you peace and joy. If that's not happening, something needs to change.

Feel free to share this with Florida friends & family.

I help people ages 1.5 & up in English & Spanish to achieve their ultimate outcomes & find relief from PTSD, anxiety, & depression via telehealth or in person.
