Most parents don’t know why their kids are acting out of control, anxious, or regressing in their development. It's so frustrating not knowing what your child is thinking or feeling. So I use the therapeutic power of play with current brain research to achieve short-term, practical solutions to restore stability for the child and peace in the home.

When big emotions show up, sometimes the most powerful tool is right under our nose - our breath.

These Breathing Card helps kids practice mindful breathing in a fun, visual way. ✨ Just trace the loop with your finger, breathing in and out as you go. It’s a simple, soothing tool for regulation at home, in the classroom, or during therapy.

💚 A gentle reminder: calming doesn’t have to be complicated.

Big feelings need safe spaces and calming tools like these can help kids feel grounded, supported, and in control.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or therapist, having a few of these items on hand can make a big difference in a child’s ability to self-regulate. 💛

🌈✨ KMC clinicians and their families showed up in full color at the Walk the Walk for Mental Health this weekend! ✨🌈

It was a joyful day filled with laughter, connection, and a shared commitment to advancing mental wellness. From colorful powder clouds to laughter-filled moments, this one-mile Color Walk for a cause was a powerful reminder that every step we take together helps build hope, healing, and equitable access to care for the kids, young adults, and families in our community. 💚

Sometimes kids don’t have the words to tell us what’s really going on inside. But their behavior is communication. This is a gentle reminder from a child’s perspective — things they might feel but can’t always say out loud. Kids thrive in connection, not perfection. ❤️🤩
