I strive to integrate cultural sensitivity and awareness into my therapeutic approach, honoring the diverse backgrounds and experiences of each client.

Are you tired of things being so tough with your kids? You can see that your child or teen is struggling, but you're not sure what to do to help. They may be having difficulties at school or with friends. Or it may be that things feel out of control at home. You try so hard to help things get better, but it feels like things are just stuck. Maybe you've noticed that your reactions are way bigger than you want them to be. Something happens to trigger you and you lose your temper, and then you feel so guilty. Or it seems overwhelming because you listen to so many parenting professionals, but still don't have a clear path forward.

Plants can grow in some of the most unexpected places. On sidewalks, through concrete, on buildings. Even when the odds seem stacked against it, the desire to thrive can find a way. When a person comes to therapy, they are choosing to find their own way to grow, no matter where they’ve been planted. One of the tools of plants are tendrils; those delicate, sensitive shoots of courage that reach out for support and connection. With some nurturance and guidance, we here at Tendril Therapy welcome you to break the barriers of what seems improbable, to grow, to thrive, to climb.

Do you wake up with dread and anxiety and cannot get out of bed? Is trauma from the past and present affecting you? Is the emotional roller-coaster holding you back from fully becoming your true self? Is your mental health affecting other aspects of your life, like relationships, work, and physical health? Many are saturated with negative feelings and unwanted thoughts and struggle to find inner peace in the modern world. Imagine if you did not have to live this way. Imagine being in a grounded state, with stable emotions, and in control of your thoughts and feelings. Imagine finding inner peace and a clearer purpose in life.

Sometimes our best life can feel out of reach. A part of us feels stuck in cognitive or relational patterns that served us at one time, but do not serve us well anymore. We want to make some changes, but we find ourselves stuck. Poet Mary Oliver asked the question, "What will you do with this one wild and precious life?" I'm here to listen as you figure out how you want to answer this question, and to witness the work you need to do to get there. Our best selves, living our best lives, are within reach.

Do you feel like your childhood experiences are impacting your present? Were you raised by parents who were emotionally unavailable or immature? Are you struggling with feelings of abandonment, low self-worth, or setting healthy boundaries? Do you find it hard to break free from old patterns and make positive changes in your life? If these questions resonate with you, you're not alone. Many adult children of emotionally immature or absent parents face these challenges. The emotional wounds from your past can affect how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how you manage your own needs and boundaries.

Sometimes life experiences leave us feeling overwhelmed or hopeless and we find that the ways we usually cope are not helping. Sometimes our personal journey involves difficult, seemingly impossible crises or losses. At times like these, we often try to manage emotions with activities that help us feel better for a short time but then the cost starts to outweigh the benefits. I believe we all go through times like this when we are tired of struggling. The path towards recovering from these experiences seems more doable when we are able to find a renewed motivation and clear goals towards healthy change.
