So much can happen while trying to successfully raise little humans that leaves us feeling frustrated, ashamed and overwhelmed, turning our households into emotional battlefields. Is your child struggling with BIG feelings or meltdowns? Refusing seemingly simple tasks? Anxious about change and struggling with transitions, and nothing you do is working? Are you navigating the intense overwhelm of parenting a highly sensitive, deep feeling, neurodivergent, twice exceptional (2E) or PDA child where one size fits all parenting advice doesn't work and behavior interventions don't last or make things worse? We can shift this together.

I have the honor of sitting with others in some of their most vulnerable states, hearing common themes of negative core beliefs that are contributing to their overall symptoms and emotional suffering. A few of these I hear often are "I am not good enough, I have to be perfect, I can't trust anyone, I can't handle it, I am not safe, I am permanently damaged." These are just a few out of a long list of negative beliefs where I help my clients work through to relieve their emotional suffering that may be manifesting in their current life as anxiety, depression, chronic pain (somatic issues) or difficulty in their relationships.
