I&#8217;m Abigail, an island girl living in the Rockies. I&#8217;m a fiber artist, mental health professional, and behavior consultant. For the past decade I have been committed to helping children make sense of the world and build family relationships. Through the years I have narrowed my focus to behavioral challenges, social skills, play skills, and family dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by my passion for arts, I come up with engaging ways to help children and their families navigate the highs and lows of childhood through the power of play and creativity. I deal primarily with children under the age of 10 in intensive in-home, clinical, and school settings. Following a variety of strategies and techniques, I am fond of pulling and fusing principals from different schools of thought to come up with unique ways to help unique individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a fusion of best practices, enjoy making behavior support resources for parents and early educators. Let&#8217;s be real, dealing with challenging behavior such as temper tantrums and aggression is not easy. I see you doing your best! That is why I made this site, to lend a helping hand and heart.
