Many people who find their way to me arrive feeling a sense of confusion about who they are. Often having experienced a life of pain inflicted by those who were meant to offer safety and protection, they find themselves wanting connection and closeness and yet feel a block in being able to trust others. They may not be sure how to have the type of relationship they want; perhaps those familiar feelings of shame and fear surface, causing anger to flare and strains their relationships.
As a parent, you may never have anticipated your child needing to see a trauma therapist. Events like accidents, bullying, divorce, or illness may have caused a change in your child. You might be grappling with the painful reality that someone has harmed them, leading to feelings of guilt and self-doubt about what you could have done differently.
Seeking help is a courageous step toward healing. Whether you're looking to heal yourself or support your child, I am here to guide you on the journey back to a sense of wholeness. My goal is for your child to experience joy and delight in their childhood while empowering you to find strength and peace as both an individual and a parent. Let's talk.

I believe healing happens best in relationship. This is why I strongly believe in the importance of our relationship, relationship you have with others, and relationship you have with yourself.
