“The fundamental principle in care of the soul is that the soul needs tending. If we do not tend to things in their suffering, and decay, we risk living the life of the walking dead.” ~Thomas Moore. As I acquire experience as a therapist, it has become apparent that the therapeutic relationship between the counselor and the client is crucial to the success of the client. Counseling is based on trust and the professional connection, and through that connection, the counseling session becomes a co-creation that can unlock the client’s barriers to a fulfilling life.

Being a parent, or caregiver, is no small thing. There are so many challenges now-a-days. The child mental health crisis has grown, and with it, the family mental health crisis, which means treatment must include the family as a whole. My role as a therapist is to assist your child and family as a whole in working towards your goals by offering a supportive and safe space, and providing the opportunity for growth as a family.
