Always believe that you ARE good enough. A lot of times, people forget to celebrate themselves.

The people with whom you surround yourself should appreciate you just as much as you understand them.

Be bold and tell certain people what they mean to you.

The developing minds of children go through a sequential process, with each phase marked by key milestones and shaped by the brain's intricate development. A positive environment is vital for fostering healthy cognitive growth and development.

All humans experience anxiety in some form or other.

What happens when you experience anxiety? Do you freeze, fight, flight, or go into collapse mode?

Below are some examples of anxiety and what we can do to calm our anxiety down.

Do you have any tips to share? Feel free to drop yours below.

The weekend is right around the corner. Do you have plans for self-care, relaxation, or date night?

Society as a whole is so busy that sometimes we forget how important self-care is. Date nights, sitting down with a book, or taking a long hot bubble bath are all good ways to unwind. Allowing yourself to unwind will help you regulate your body.

What are some of your favorite things to do on the weekend?

Getting the proper support for your child can make the biggest difference, not just for the family but also for the schools and other activities that the child is doing.

Counselling and Play Therapy can help your child learn emotional regulation, build confidence, and give them tools to use in uncomfortable situations.

Reach out today if this would be beneficial for your child.

With school fast approaching, you might notice changes in your child/ren.

You might notice more behaviours, a change of tone in their voice, and or feelings of anxiety.

This is a normal reaction for children to experience when they are dealing with anxiety or stress. Please remember that your child's brain is not fully developed.

Please take this opportunity to talk to your kids and teach them coping skills. If you need support, feel free to reach out.

Announcing with pleasure that I am entirely open for business and equipped to accommodate clients. My appreciation extends to everyone who has offered their backing and contributed to my success. You know who you are.

Practicing positive affirmations will rewire your brain with new pathways and neurons.

I know alot of us can relate to this post. Do you know what the difference between this game and the games (electonics) that kids play now?

Do you feel overwhelmed as a parent and are at your wits end? With over 30 years of experience working with children, youth, and families, let me support you while you navigate your child's big emotions.

Play Therapy is a scientific approach to helping children and youth express themselves during play. I create a safe and welcoming environment where they can feel heard, confident enough to share, and understood.

People under estimate their brain. It is true what they say, "if you don't use it, you lose it." They and find something to get you going, even reading, small walk. YOU CAN DO IT!
