Is your child struggling? Are you struggling to be the parent you want to be? Author Virginia Satir points out “So much is asked of parents, and so little is given.” Parents often wish for more support and information on best practices related to child-rearing in the world we live in today. Navigating normal quandaries of school, friendship, self-esteem and more with our children can be scary. Sometimes, we hit bigger bumps in the road of life, like the loss of someone important (divorce, death, a move), health challenges (physical or mental) or circumstances that are unjust (bullying, trauma). Life may begin to feel unmanageable.

Is a lot of your self talk focused on self loathing, shame, or perceived failings in your life? Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or anxious more often than not? Taking the time and effort to look at what is working and what isn’t working in your own life is a brave step toward feeling better in your own skin. Often our work together will look a lot like taking steps (some minuscule, some monumental, all equally as needed and pivotal) toward yourself and the ways you can become more fully you. Through that greater understanding (and ultimate acceptance) of self, you can find a quieter, kinder inner voice.

I am passionate about helping people who struggle with anxiety, addiction, developmental trauma, depression, and relational issues. At the core of my approach is an attitude of warmth, acceptance, and faith in my client's innate capacity for healing and transformation. Often people come to therapy with a sense of disempowerment. The impulse to reach out in hope of finding a caring, safe, or 'true other' shows your innate wisdom and strength. We are all in desperate need of help and connection. The implicit hope is that you can do more than just survive.
