Family in crisis? Everyone in the family is impacted by the stressful environment when children refuse to follow directions and develop behaviors such as verbal aggression (disrespectful communication, degrading comments, verbally threaten others), emotional outbursts (yelling, temper tantrums), physical aggression toward self (i.e., cutting and/or burning self) or others (pushing and/or hitting others, destroying property), suicidal ideation (threat to self) and/or homicidal ideation (threat to others), and/or running away (AWOL). As a result of feelings of sadness and anger, children and parents often engage in power struggles.

I practice from an integrative approach to help individuals with their story of healing and transformation. We often feel overpowered by the pain and suffering that life throws our way. In order to learn from it, we first need to be able to listen. I aim to create a safe space to explore painful emotions and to help you take back the reins of your life. We are all works in progress and the beautiful thing is that we are allowed to be. You will discover that you are not alone in your hardship and I will be there with you as you build a sense of empowerment. My therapeutic style one of genuine connection, acceptance, and compassion.

How does therapy work anyway? The primary goal of therapy is to develop a better understanding of yourself. I am a non-traditional therapist who provides direct feedback to you about the ways in which you may sabatage yourself and your relationships. You deserve to know how other people perceive you. In our conversations I will observe how you relate to the people in your life, and what you do to connect successfully, or push others away inadvertently. Are you frequently stuck in your head, unable to be present for conversations? There can be many reasons for your feelings of isolation and disconnection. Let's figure it out!

Life can be really hard and painful. Perhaps you feel stuck, confused, frustrated or overwhelmed. It is important to develop effective tools and strategies to strengthen our capacity to move through difficulty better, with more clarity and better decision making ability. Maybe you have reached a point in life where you cannot keep doing what you are doing because it is no longer working. You need to try a different strategy for better results. I also have a unique understanding and depth of narcissism and how to heal from narcissistic abuse.
