Resilient roots And healing therapeutic services: Your Partner in Mental Health
School based anxiety for children and youth
As someone who has been in education for 20+ years, I understand that there are complexities that are challenging. School can be an environment where a child feels excluded, bullied or have anxiety about the content or just fitting in. Let's talk about ways both children and parents are able to navigate these difficulties. We will come up with a plan that meets everyone's needs.
Parental Burnout and grief
Being a parent is rewarding and challenging, these relationships can be tricky to navigate in the world we live today. At Resilient Roots and Healing, let us help you with reconnection, burnout strategies and to navigate grief you may be experiencing within this relationship. It can be challenging to hear a diagnosis, have a child with exceptional needs, be a new parent and just to find your path to peace.
Post Partum and traumatic birth
Anxiety about having a baby or the fears associated thereafter can be troubling and scary. Feelings of being alone are amplified throughout this time, creating barriers to accessing physical and emotional care. Come chat with me about how you are feeling so we are able to create a plan together. You are not alone.
