Are you a new parent? Have you recently become the caregiver for a young child, maybe as a result of things beyond your control? Are you the parent or caregiver for a toddler, or a child with a developmental delay or disorder, or a child who has experienced trauma or other disruptive or challenging circumstances? Maybe your family is going through life changes and transitions. Or maybe you are experiencing post partum depression or anxiety (this happens to mothers AND fathers!) Maybe you are a teacher or childcare professional trying to support kids and families. You need support and compassion; a place to be real and just breathe

Your spouse feels more like your roommate. You don't recognize them anymore. Neither of you are the same person you were when you first married. Sitting on the couch together is like snuggling up to a stranger on a plane. Neither of you feels supported, heard, or appreciated. Despite being with each other for years, your communication has worsened. You've both become reactive. You ask yourself, “At what point did we lose touch? Before baby number 2? After the umpteenth job change? When their mom moved in ‘just for a couple of months’ a year ago?” You're craving laughter, love, and connection. You're ready to have your partner back.

I believe that the first step in effecting positive change in your life begins with building self-awareness.

As a therapist, my job is to provide a safe and judgement-free space for you to learn more about yourself in order to attain sustainable change. If you are experiencing things like issues in your relationships, loneliness, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem -- I can help you.
