I am a wife and mother of two. I am passionate about co-regulating to help grow yourself, your child, and your family. My daughter and son are 21 months apart. My daughter was born three months after my mom died in 2018, and my son was born during the height of Covid-19 shut-down in 2020. My husband and I married nine months before our daughter was born. Through these life experiences, as well as in my professional life, I have learned ever growing knowledge in co-regulation.
In the midst of these significant life events, I found myself in situations that fostered not only personal acceptance but also a profound need for co-regulation skills. Co-regulation, in essence, is the ability to manage one's emotional and psychological state while simultaneously helping others do the same. It's a crucial skill, especially in situations where emotions run high and stress levels can be overwhelming.
The passing of my mother, just before my daughter's birth, has created a complex emotional landscape. Coping with grief while preparing for the arrival of a new life required a delicate balance of self-regulation and being attuned to the emotional needs of my family. It was a time when co-regulation was not only beneficial but essential for maintaining stability and nurturing a positive environment for my growing family.
The birth of my son during the Covid-19 shutdown presented unique challenges. The uncertainty and anxiety that surrounded the pandemic affected us all. Co-regulation became noticeably important as my husband and I navigated the stress of those times, ensuring that we not only managed our own emotions but also provided a sense of security and stability for our children. Needless to say, we struggled. At time I was sure we were going to break, but somehow we are now closer than ever.
Furthermore, our relationship before becoming parents underscored the importance of co-regulation in our relationship. As new parents, we struggled to learn and lean on each other for support and understanding. Once we began to understand each other we became more attuned to using our co-regulation skills to maintain a strong partnership while juggling the demands of parenthood.
In my professional life, these personal experiences have translated into a deeper understanding of the significance of understanding unique needs and co-regulation in various contexts. Whether working with colleagues, clients, or students, the ability to create a supportive and emotionally balanced environment is invaluable.
So, through these life experiences, I've come to appreciate the vital role of co-regulation in maintaining emotional well-being, fostering healthy relationships, and effectively navigating the complex terrain of life's challenges. It's a skill that continues to evolve and grow, providing a solid foundation for both my personal and professional journey.

I believe that by providing these resources it will assist in providing needed information - by regulating the self you can create a ripple effect that forms infinite possibilities through co-regulation. These possibilities are not limited to but include safe, trusting, connected, healing, healthy relationships.
I have been in the mental health field for 15 years. In that time, I have worked with individuals and groups. In the past, I journeyed alongside individuals, parents, couples, and children. With CO-REGULATE TO GROW, my desire is to provide education and guidance to increase confidence and support with the co-regulation process that transpires in all relationships. My passion focuses on the co-regulation process within the parent-child and family system.
I am certified and trained in treating pathological demand avoidance (PDA) - level 1 and 2 through PDA North America, reactive attachment disorder through C.H.A.N.C.E.S, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through Perinatal Support International, and post-traumatic stress disorder with cognitive processing disorder through Kathleen M.

Are you ready to embark on a journey towards healing and connecting with yourself, your children, and/or your family? Co-regulation is a fundamental skill needed to lay the foundation for building and maintaining healthy relationships. As a therapist, I have always understood the importance of self-regulation and co-regulation with others. However, it wasn't until I became a parent myself that I truly grasped the vital significance of co-regulation. I also realized how challenging it can be to self-regulate and maintain a regulated state while trying to regulate my children and my family as a whole. This realization led me to start CO-REGULATE TO GROW, in order to assist others on this journey, and offer resources that focuses on the co-regulation process and neurodivergents.
As a parent, your child, regardless of their age, will need your help to co-regulate. As a partner and/or family member, co-regulation is a constant process. When going through a crisis or difficult times with a loved one, it can be emotionally draining and debilitating. Many people go through these challenges alone, struggling to seek assistance due to the intensity of their frustration, guilt, and in some cases, shame. When you add your own neurotype, trauma, or unresolved past experiences to the mix, the situation can feel lonely and hopeless. That's why I want to provide these resources. Allow yourself to be remind of the immense power you possess within, and how capable you are of regulating yourself and co-regulating others.
All books can be found on Amazon.
I am in the process of creating new resources.
