It can get better. Just getting by in your life or relationships, or feeling like things are overwhelming, unsafe or out of control is worth getting help with. Feeling lost in a life transition is worth getting help with. Finding a way to thrive instead of just survive is worth getting help with. You can have help focusing your efforts on what will actually make a difference, so it can get better. Models I use to understand where you are & how to get where you want to go include Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Interpersonal Neurobiology & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
The therapeutic work I know by heart includes couples’ issues, parenting, family cohesiveness, depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ identity exploration, faith journeys/ transitions, and trauma (including religious trauma). I am happy to join you no matter your journey to make the way safe & successful.
As your companion on this journey, I bring my expertise and my humanity-honoring your strengths & struggles, your wisdom & weakness, and your innate desire for growth, connection, healing, and wholeness. To my years of clinical experience I add my lived experience as a mother of 4 with nearly 25 years of marriage and parenthood. I would love to help you!
