Connection is hard. We are all striving to belong. Belong to ourselves, in our own skin and in relationships with others. For far too many, past hurts keeps us from what we most need- real human connection with another caring human. My office strives to be that place where people can be without judgment or shame. A place to learn real skills to help us feel nurtured and safe. A place to explore hurt in past relationships and how to create, maybe for the first time, the ability to care for and be cared for by others. A place that embodies growth and change with grace and compassion.

Yep, life sure can feel heavy sometimes! Does it seem as though you are in a constant wrestling- match with your feelings, or battling an emotional tug-of-war? Are the daily pressures weighing you down, leaving you discouraged, exhausted or hopeless? Maybe you are fighting to control your racing thoughts & restless energy. Struggling to contain or manage your frustration, disappointment, anger, fear or sadness can feel impossible, even pointless, at times. The stress of it all might even be causing you to disconnect or isolate from those you love in order to shield them from what you are going through.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, (1943), "The Theory of Human Motivation", reads: if a person’s basic needs (food, shelter, physical/mental safety) and social needs (love, belonging, self-worth, sense of purpose) are not fulfilled, that person will experience frustration and will “pivot” on a level of need that appears easiest to satisfy. Which level of need are you "stuck" on? Are you bound by anxious, fearful and mind-binding thoughts? Freedom is a goal that can be attained.

Are you a parent or a caregiver struggling to know where to turn to find support as you navigate the path of raising a child? Do you find yourself asking “why is this so much more difficult than I thought it would be”? Are you worried about your child’s mood, behaviors, or overall emotional well-being? Or maybe you are raising a neuro-divergent child or a child with challenging behaviors and traditional parenting just isn’t working.
