Are you seeking emotional and physical healing? Are you seeking to improve your self-esteem or relationships? Are you dealing with a life transition or a family conflict? Do you have an adolescent who is struggling with making smart decisions, feeling depressed, or having difficulties interacting with peers? Together we can work through these concerns and more.
Once you have a kid, everything changes. We KNOW this. Yet, we are still caught off guard when we have a kid and everything changes! Learn how to reconnect with your partner, how to get on the same page about parenting, and how to recognize and safely work through the painful messages and stories from your family history that are constantly being replayed in your own family despite your best efforts to squash and forget them. Over 6 weeks, parent couples will work with other parent couples and two therapists to deepen their understanding of themselves, their histories, their partner and their partner's history.

If you are seeking help for your relationship, it's probably because things feel distant, disconnected, or even out of control. You feel like you can't communicate no matter how hard you try. You are tired of arguing. You want to feel close again but don't know where to begin. Maybe you don't recognize yourselves after you had children and day-to-day family life feels overwhelming and joyless. Maybe you've experienced a betrayal and are so filled with sadness and rage you don't recognize yourself anymore. You want to fix things but are afraid of the pain. Perhaps you made a mistake and need help regaining your partner's trust.

Do you need support finding your life’s purpose? Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you find it difficult to feel pain and face your shadows? While considering the whole person- heart, soul, mind and body, I trust that you enter therapy having the insight you need to navigate your distress. I use the term "depth emergence" to explain my orientation and approach. It stems from depth psychology, which emphasizes gaining access to the unconscious and bringing it into consciousness. While increasing awareness we derive meaning, evolve, and transform.
We all do this mothering thing differently, but you don't have to do it alone! Lack of sleep, career, and fiscal concerns are just a few of the stressors that can strain our relationships and our personal health and sanity. Connect with other mothers, wives, and other women who understand us. This group is for anyone who needs a place to be real with other mothers and space to breathe. Get grounded and feel rejuvenated in just 3 minutes. Transform conflicts with your partner into opportunities for greater understanding, compromise, and compassion. Implement self-care into your busy schedules.
