I understand that a child who struggles at home or school with strong emotions or behavioral challenges, requires a lot of time and attention, seems angry, withdrawn, sensitive, or just doesn’t seem themselves, may leave a parent feeling frustrated, worried and exhausted. You want your child to do well and be happy, but you're unsure what will help. It can be difficult to find the right resources to address: low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, behavioral outbursts, and difficulty maintaining positive relationships. I specialize in working with children ages 3+ to improve functioning and establish healthy family connection.

“I feel stuck.... Nothing is going to get better... I don’t know why I feel this way... Nobody understands what I'm going through.” How many of these thoughts sound familiar? Sometimes, one of the most difficult things to navigate is how we feel. Life is hard. It’s filled with things that are stressful, overwhelming, painful, and heartbreaking. It can be challenging just to get through the day without crying, losing motivation, isolating, or feeling hopeless. It can be a lot to handle. Figuring out how to change that doesn’t have to be.

Stress, anxiety, and depression, and other mental illnesses impact physical health, relationships with our loved ones, and affect work performance. Each of individual experiences and copes with challenges differently. We perceive, process and react though the unique lens of personal history, present day experience and unique physiology. Therapy helps to clarify the "building blocks" of the unique lens through which we perceive our world. Therapy then helps us make conscious and change aspects of the lens that contribute to our difficulties and distress, so that we can create health and wholeness in ourselves and our relationships.
