These are certainly challenging times. Difficult emotions like loneliness, fear, anger, shame and disillusionment can take over, and you may feel like your life is out of control. Maybe things look good on the outside, but you feel uncertain on the inside. Maybe you have been avoiding things by “self-medicating” with alcohol, food, substances, TV, or the internet? Maybe you are having conflict with someone you love. Maybe “old stuff” is bubbling up? No matter what, you have arrived at this moment for a reason- you are ready to really look deeply at some things and make some changes! Therapy is a great place to do that.

Life is full of challenges, and I know how hard it can be to find the right support when things feel overwhelming. As a therapist and a parent of two, I understand the everyday stress of balancing family life, emotional well-being, and personal growth. Whether you’re a parent seeking strategies to better connect with your child or teen, a teen navigating the pressures of school, friendships, and identity, or a child needing support with anxiety or emotional regulation, you don't have to navigate it alone.
