Is your child struggling with big emotions, meltdowns or anxiety? Would you like to understand what’s going on — and how to support them at home?

A child cannot learn if they are dis regulated.

Remember, Regulate then Educate 👍

Be a rule maker…..not a rule breaker

Are you a parent trying your best to understand how your child is feeling—but still feeling stuck when big emotions take over?
You're not alone. Emotional outbursts, meltdowns, and shutdowns can be overwhelming—for both children and parents.
I offer a 1 hour 1:1 Parent Support Session focused on helping you support your child through emotional dysregulation.

Is your child resisting the idea of attending therapy?

In these sessions parents you'll learn:

✅ Why emotional dysregulation happens
✅ Practical tools to help your child feel safe, seen, and soothed
✅ How to stay calm and connected during difficult moments
✅ Strategies to build emotional resilience—for both of you

No need for your child to attend-this is a space for you as a parent.

This session is about support, not perfection. Whether your child struggles with anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or just has big feelings, I’m here to walk alongside you.

You’ll receive a free zones of regulation handout to use at home.
