Regulated Parents in Action
Come move, play, and learn with us! In this hands-on parent training series, we will dive into strategies to help regulate our children through the power of our own self-regulation. We will provide education and experiential opportunities
to help us understand how to use ourselves and the parent-child relationship to regulate our children. Each week we
will cover a topic that incorporates the use of sensory regulation, mindfulness, and yoga to positively influence our regulation so that we can approach parenting from a place
of fullness and abundance rather than emptiness and burnout. Parents will have practical tools to incorporate right away into daily life.

Circle of Security® Parenting™ Group
The Circle of Security® Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened and helps us make sense of what our children are really asking from us. This is a 10-week course that utilizes video clips to present information about The Circle as well as examples of parents using The Circle with their children. Groups are a mix of watching video clips to learn new concepts and discussing and reflecting on our own experiences. This program is appropriate for all parents, those looking to learn a bit more, those who are struggling in their relationship with their child, as well as new parents, foster and adoptive parents!

LPC-IT
Starting from a young age through college I worked for Therapeutic Equine Facilities where I learned my passion for animals and working with others. This experience taught me the importance of the animal-human connection as well as the need for diverse therapeutic interventions. I went on to graduate from the University of Missouri with a B.S. in Animal Science and a Minor in psychology where I took my love for animals, behavior, psychology, and conservation into my first career path as a Zookeeper. After years in that role I again followed my interests of behavior and psychology by pursuing a Masters in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Wisconsin – Madison where I could bring my unique experiences to my role as a mental health counselor.
Prior to working at CTN I worked with children, teens, and adults through Journey Mental Health Center and Northstar Counseling Center where I gained experience in trauma informed care, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I am passionate about caring for the whole person using empowerment based approaches and recognizing the importance of family dynamics.
In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors connecting with nature, going to the zoo, traveling, and loving on my German Shepherd Dog Archie!
