Supporting children in high-conflict and post-separation families through attachment-informed care
Hi, I’m AJ.
​
I’m a mom, Parenting and Trauma Consultant, child development specialist, and passionate advocate for children.
​
My work sits at the intersection of attachment science, trauma, and family law. I support professionals across domestic violence, family law, children’s mental health, and child protection systems in understanding how post-separation abuse, coercive control, and ongoing relational trauma impact children—and what children truly need in order to feel safe and supported.
​
I also work closely with parents who are navigating high-conflict and post-separation dynamics. Together, we focus on helping you make sense of your child’s behaviour through an attachment lens, strengthen your relationship, and support your child’s healing and resilience—even when the situation around you hasn’t changed.
​
I am the creator of Trauma Healing Parenting, an evidence-informed approach designed to support children living with ongoing relational trauma, and to help parents become a steady, protective presence in their child’s life.
