Living an authentic life starts with a knowledge of who we are as human beings. Who are we as a person? What do we expect of ourselves? Where do we find purpose and meaning? How do we get there? Is it too late for me? These are all questions which all of us wrestle with. They are big questions, and our ability to answer them has profound implications on how we live out our lives.

Many people were taught early on that emotions and feelings should not be outwardly discussed or displayed; others become aware of the stigma surrounding mental health issues as they mature. This can lead to a fear of being labeled as mentally ill, which often serves as an obstacle to seeking therapy. Unhealthy thought patterns surrounding mental health have led to ongoing, systemic problems that create a lack of public awareness and prioritization of mental health issues. However, change can occur on the individual level once a person makes the courageous decision to seek out counseling, which can provide them with a fresh start.

I and my team work primarily with children, parents, and guardians seeking support for navigating the complexities of traumatic experiences. Trauma can affect every aspect of a person’s life, and in children can often lead to maladaptive behaviors and emotional distress. Whether it be family disruptions, grief and loss, or more acute incidents, for children who have experienced trauma, play therapy is a powerful tool for their healing journey. The ultimate goal is to foster resilience, emotional regulation, increase healthy coping mechanisms, and restore a sense of security in you or your child’s life.

Life can get tough. Sometimes we all need a place to talk things out, get a fresh perspective, and learn skills that help us feel better and work through life’s challenges.
