MY APPROACH

I’ve worked in the mental health field for over two decades.  I have worked alongside families to navigate the ups and downs of childhood anxiety. My approach is practical, compassionate, and grounded in proven techniques like Child-Centered Play Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches.

I have also teamed up with my therapy dog, Buster, whose happy tail wags, gentle licks, and impressive obedience skills brought comfort and confidence to so many kids. His happy demeanor and calming presence have helped many children feel safe enough to explore their emotions and build bravery.

Why Busting Big Feelings?

I created this space because I know how hard it is to watch your child struggle with worry, fear, or emotional outbursts and feel unsure of how to help. I also know that with the right tools and understanding, parents can become their child’s greatest source of strength and support. My mission is to empower you with strategies to help your child manage anxiety, grow their confidence, and create a more peaceful, joyful home.

MY VALUES

You know your child better than anyone. I’m here to help you feel confident in guiding them through life’s big feelings. Let’s get started — together.
