Equipping Children for Life
We cannot be by our children’s side every moment of the day. But we can equip them with an inner sense of what it feels like to be grounded, psychologically safe, calmly assertive, boundaried yet engaged with life.
Jungle Mind groups were created in response to the growing challenges children face today—difficulties with attention, rising anxiety, navigating friendships, the pull of technology and social media.
Rooted in attachment theory, the neuroscience of emotional regulation, and evidence-based therapeutic practices, these groups provide early intervention by helping children build a secure foundation for emotional wellbeing and resilience - that they can carry with them everywhere.

I’ve spent over a decade working with children and adolescents struggling with a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges. I care deeply about offering not just treatment, but early support to children and parents.
Building a base - a space of grounding, safety and trust is fundamental to growing. It is also preventative of major mental health and relational crisis.
​
My therapeutic approach is informed by attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, psychodynamics, and creative therapies.
I also draw on my earlier career as a lawyer—where I learned to work with structured analysis, communication and action. This structured approach balanced with emotional connection and regulation contribute to relational safety, resilience, and growth.
