Searching for the right therapist can be a confusing, overwhelming process, but congratulations on taking the first step! Prioritizing you or your child’s mental health while juggling other stressors and responsibilities in life can be difficult, but is very necessary and important. I believe that everyone deserves treatment that is created specifically to target one’s own symptoms, issues, goals, and life story.

Making the decision to seek help can be challenging and is a big first step on your journey to wellness. Wellness is not an absence of problems, but it is a process that helps us become more aware and make choices for a healthy and fulfilling life. If you feel overwhelmed and want help developing proper coping skills and self-care, you are not alone. Support is available and change is possible! Although I believe the client is the expert in their life, therapy is a collaborative effort between you and I. Together, we will work on identifying and meeting your wants, needs, and goals.

Do you want your child to be more confident? Happy? Engaged at school? Is homework stressing YOU out and causing your child to shut down? Are you frustrated with the educational system? Do you feel your child isn't reaching his full potential - are you curious as to why that may be? Are you worried for your child's future? Together, we can help you find the answers you need. The Educational Resource Group is dedicated to helping individuals reach their fullest potential. Our goal is to provide an easier way to get answers and find solutions to learning struggles.

So what happens when we are stressed out? Did you know that our body and mind have natural defense mechanisms that protect us from stress overcoming us? Professionals call them disorders and put special names on them like depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorders. Every disorder can be a serious issue that can make us feel like our world is crashing down around us. Stress also affects every relationship we have. Our relationship with our better half usually takes the grunt of the stress but sometimes our relationships with our friends, co-workers, family and even our children are negatively affected.

You are struggling to find purpose and meaning in your life. Your life seems unrecognizable and you're wondering how the hell you got here? You have neglected yourself for long enough and are ready to learn how to take care of you. You are going through a major life change such as a breakup/divorce, career change, starting or growing your family, becoming an empty nester and having trouble adjusting. You constantly feel worried, on edge, nervous or anxious and don't know how to change it. You just need someone to listen and you’re ready to put down some of your burden.

The stress of today's world can be so isolating. The feeling that you have to have it all together... the perfect grades, the perfect home, the perfect family, the perfect world. Pretending that you have it all together while suffering silently can feel overwhelming. You don't have to keep suffering in silence. I can help you work through underlying causes of anxiety and give you tools to help you in your every day life. We will work together to help you find healthy ways to cope with anxiety.

Growing up can be tough. While young people focus on learning about the world and figuring out who they are, stressors can get in the way and make the journey more difficult. When stress turns into overwhelming anxiety, it can impact a child’s everyday life and make everyday stresses feel like a gigantic mountains to climb. Anxiety happens when your brain’s fight-or-flight system is in overdrive. I can help your child learn both cognitive (thinking) and behavioral (body) strategies to rewire this system and make worries less threatening and less common. Mastering coping tools for anxiety can help your child get their life back.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, angry, or tired of trying to deal with what life is throwing your way? Do you snap at those you love or wish you could find more peace for yourself? Do you feel like you are invisible, overlooked, or don't know how to ask for what you want and need? Do you feel stuck and don't know how to move forward? Do you have behaviors you wish you didn't have? Do you feel out of balance, out of control?

Being yourself and doing what you love can feel hard when you are coping with chronic illness and pain. Worries about getting sick can stop a child from going out with friends. Missing school can lead to overwhelming amounts of make-up work. Fatigue can reduce activity. Poor sleep can make it hard to focus. Juggling new medical regimens can be a lot to handle. Managing symptoms and functioning in daily life can be a struggle. But there is hope. I have helped numerous young people learn to cope with chronic illness and pain and thrive in their everyday lives.

Growing up can be tough. While young people focus on learning about the world and figuring out who they are, trauma can get in the way and make the journey more difficult. When a child feels threatened, life can become overwhelming. Emotions can start to feel out of control. Or sometimes there is no emotion at all. Sleep can be scary and difficult. Engaging with friends can feel hard. Concentrating in school can feel impossible. The body gets stressed and doesn’t feel right. The world just doesn’t look and feel like it used to. And when everything feels like too much, a child can take it out on themselves and others. I can help.
