Description
I have been working in the field of childhood trauma with children, families and adults for more than 20 years. I was a treatment foster parent for over 20 years and this lived experience has been the foundation for my work. As the owner of Mind 2 Heart, this business was born out of my passion and commitment to understand how to help children heal those spaces inside of them and embracing neurodiversity. Children need security and commitment to heal. We all heal within relationships, relationships in therapy, in families and in communities.

Summary
Our core belief is that every individual is unique, and we celebrate the beauty of neurodiversity. We embrace the differences that make each person special, and we strive to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels understood and valued. We recognize that interventions and therapy take diverse forms. We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable for your unique neuro system. Thus, we embrace various methodologies, such as CBT, DBT, art therapy, and more, adapting our approach to what best suits your individual needs.
