Raising challenging children can be exhausting and frustrating. You feel guilty about not being able to fix your child's behavioral problems and confused about what to do next. Although many professionals recommend your child take medication, you are not comfortable with it. Your child may be disagnosed with ADHD, ODD, OCD, Depression, Anxiety or have other disruptive behavioral components. You are looking for some options that help you feel good about your parenting style while helping your child succeed. If this sounds like your story in any way, you are not alone and I can help.

Are you simply tired of feeling undervalued, unseen, unheard or uncomfortable? Are you struggling to find ways to build confidence and get unstuck? Maybe there is no one to honestly confide in about how you truly feel, because outwardly, you are a high-achiever and put together? You feel torn about spending time working on yourself, but you’ll do anything for others, even if it puts you out? It’s time to learn how this cycle began so we can rewire the anxious brain and create healthier and more fulfilling ways to live life! You will learn boundaries and how to set them to make yourself a priority, maybe for the first time ever!

As a therapist, I am interested in the words that people use to describe their experience — the words that have taken hold of us and told how us to feel, how to think, and so on. I am also interested in the themes that have emerged in someone’s life, the little mistakes they make and don’t understand, and their dreams (or nightmares).

Waitlist for new clients
Have you decided to become a mom? It can be daunting and at times difficult. During this pregnancy are you asking yourself questions like “why am I not glowing and happy?” Have you just become a new mom and feel disconnected and that no one understands? Do you have young children and constantly ask yourself “am I a good mom, what’s wrong with me or my child?” You are not alone. I felt these very same thoughts and so have many others. Transitioning to parenthood the first, second or even third time can be overwhelming and at times traumatic and that is where therapy can be helpful.
