You don't have to wait for something big to happen to seek therapy. Often it's small things that you quietly carry that add up. Maybe the family role you took on or your usual coping skills aren't working for you anymore. Or you became a parent, and your kid's meltdown somehow became your meltdown, and you're starting to wonder what that's actually about. There may be stressors at work or perhaps your child needs help and you aren't sure where to turn. Or your faith/spiritual beliefs feel a little unstable and aren't providing the comfort they used to. Thankfully you don't have to figure it out alone; I can help.
I work with adults doing deep family-of-origin work. This often looks like understanding how the past influences current situations (like managing aging parents, raising children, and work or social stress), or unpacking faith and spiritual shifts and their influence on identity. I also offer child-centered play therapy for kids ages 3 and up.
I'm not here to tell you how fast to heal, who to forgive, or what to believe. I'm here to be curious with you about the patterns you inherited and support your growth. With adults, we talk, and slowly explore your thoughts and feelings that often live beneath the surface. With kids, they get to describe their unspoken world through play.

I work with adults who are navigating family wounds, religious trauma or spiritual abuse and deconstruction, and those who find that parenting is surfacing their own stuff. I also offer play therapy for kids ages 3 and up (because sometimes play says what words can't).

Most of us have gotten pretty good at managing symptoms (anxiety, intrusive thoughts, the same fight on repeat), but symptoms tend to come back in new forms unless we address what's underneath them. I work slowly and relationally, drawing on psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches to help you understand not just what you're experiencing, but why, and what you might want to do differently.
