Raising humans (and being one!) is challenging beyond measure. You plan to parent differently than how you were parented and that seems simple enough...if it weren't for the fact that your baby was up all night, your toddler is screaming at the top of his lungs while decorating his body with the oatmeal you just made him, and your big kid is crying about how none of her clothes feel right on her body and she needs all new clothes, NOW. You told yourself you wouldn't yell today, but it is barely sunrise, and the sun has already set on that goal!
Adults come to me to work through parenting/life stressors, trauma, and mental health issues, including Perinatal/Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders. Kids see me for anxiety, social struggles, and trauma treatment. As a client-centered and attachment-based EMDR therapist, I customize my interventions to suit your unique needs.
No matter where you are on your parenting journey, you are not alone. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where we embrace being imperfect and where you will feel safe and supported. Check out my website for more information and please reach out if you would like to talk more!
