You want to be a supportive parent, but deep down you are struggling when you see your child isolating, withdrawn or angry.

But one thing is for sure: you're ready to improve your relationship with your child. You're ready to get them the help they need. Most of all you're ready to be there for them while they learn the tools they need to feel better again

Depression, anxiety and problems in relationships often cause deep anguish and pain - just getting by each day is tough. We often struggle alone believing things will never get better. Friends and family urge us to just get over it, but sometimes that makes it feel worse. You need someone to talk to. In the safety and privacy of our offices, you will have your therapist's unwavering attention, devoted to helping you untangle the mess that exists in your life. Together, we will help you change what you thought was unchangeable but also accept what you thought was unacceptable.

There are times when we are uncertain how to respond to issues, we may become overwhelmed by having to make decisions or we may feel depleted because we tried everything possible but the problem(s) persist and seem to grow. We may also feel isolated as our personal and professional relationships become conflicted. We might be responding to problems never before experienced, or we may lack the knowledge experience and skills to be objective to find a solution. Sometimes we may not have had role models or personal, academic or professional mentors to help guide us through various situations.

Hasn't anxiety cost you enough already? Maybe it's one small decision keeping you stuck on the hamster wheel in your brain for days, thinking and re-thinking your options. Doubting yourself over and over. If you could just stop, you absolutely would. Your anxiety always seems to get the best of you. You wonder, why can’t you be like everyone else and just let things go? Easier said than done. No one else seems as tangled in their thoughts as you feel like you are. You know this isn’t your best life, but it's all that you know. You're stuck. You know there has to be a better way, but it eludes you.
