Believe me, I will have a candle at my birthday party next month 😂😂

We all laughed so hard at this video. Making family memories even in the simplest moments! 🥰

I’ve never been a fan of standardized tests and think brain science is way cooler.

This boy will be participating in my intensive summer program. I’m looking forward to showcasing more of his progress in the summer months!

This is true for parents too!

Everything shifted for me the moment I stopped focusing only on the child in front of me and started truly supporting the parent behind them.

I can be highly skilled. I can run the most engaging, thoughtful sessions. But if a parent leaves without feeling confident in how to understand their child… what are we really doing?

When a parent begins to recognize their child’s regulation, their cues, their emotional patterns at home, connection starts to feel more natural. Interactions become less forced.

There is no formula that works for every child. No script to follow. That’s why individualized support is essential.

Parents deserve more than updates at the end of a session. They deserve to be guided, coached, and supported in a way that helps them feel capable in their everyday moments.

If you’re not being shown how to truly understand your child’s development or how to gently challenge them within your daily life, it’s okay to ask questions. It’s okay to seek something different.

Your child is growing every day. The support you choose right now shapes what that growth looks like.

It’s birthday week in the Gillespie house and there is no better way to celebrate my husband than telling you about the type of partner I have!

Never give up!

There was a time when I believed that learning Floortime would come from simply taking a course… but I quickly realized if I wanted to master it, I had to commit more energy and time to it.

Developing my craft has not been easy. It has required me to challenge myself, to reflect deeply, and to set my ego aside again and again.

This journey has stretched me in ways I never expected, but it has also grounded me in the kind of therapist I always hoped to become.

I’ve come so far and believe my learning journey is only beginning!

Thank you for being here with me! 🥰

Have you heard about my family intensives?

Families travel from all over the world to be here, and this family came from Trinidad looking for support with their child’s emotional regulation and a deeper way to truly connect with her.

What they found was so much more than strategies. They found a new way of understanding their child, responding in the hard moments, and building a level of connection they could continue at home.

We spend dedicated, immersive time together so you can:�• understand your child on a deeper developmental level�• support regulation in real, everyday moments�• build connection through play, interaction, and relationship�• feel clear and confident in how to promote more communication

This is not a one size fits all approach. This is individualized, hands on, deeply relational work that meets your family where you are.

If you are ready for real clarity, real connection, and real support, I would love to work with your family.

Send me a message to learn more about upcoming family intensives.

This is why I always say the training process at ICDL is weak. You cant possibly learn the entire DIR Floortime framework by submitting two videos and participating in discussion for 3 months.

The way Jake describes his training with his dad is how he taught me. It was rigorous and long but it got me to where I am now.

This is my opinion. You can have yours

If you are interested in DIR Floortime you can’t miss this video with Jake Greenspan, the son of Dr. Stanley Greenspan

It’s strange to think the pioneer of relationship based child development had his own challenges with parenting. The infant, child and family mental health Practioner in me has so many thoughts and ideas.

This full interview gives a different perspective and brings light to the Floortime training that is available now.

To watch the full clip interview comment “Greenspan” and I will personally send you the link!
