Stress and trauma can take many forms. Sometimes we survive an event such as a car accident, wildfire, assault, or military-related event. Or we may notice chronic struggles with trusting others and ourselves, and feeling stressed and unsatisfied in our relationships. The experience of trauma can significantly impact how we change or grow in each present moment, how we connect and separate from others, and how we experiment, take risks, and resource our creativity. Let's co-create a therapy relationship that works to support the development of loving relationships with self and others.

Are you stuck? Constantly second-guessing your choices? Self-doubt, low self-esteem or low-motivation all create a good deal of stress. These challenges often lead to chronic depression or anxiety which may keep you frozen, hold you back from taking a step forward to getting what you want in life. Creating a warm, safe, compassionate space is my way of helping you to begin exploring your individual needs, and what is and is not working for you. It is my experience that the process of getting to know each client allows for the expression of those thoughts and feelings that are in the way of ultimately reaching your goals.

I will be there, with compassion and curiosity, helping uncover how deeper memories, beliefs, and feelings shape your current relationship dynamics, way of moving through life, and perceptions of the world.

Play is the language of childhood and I speak it fluently. Whatever situation your child is going through, we will face it together. We might be adventurers, exploring the rocky seas of emotion regulation. Perhaps we are princes and princesses trapped in a castle of loneliness, race car drivers going around on the track of ADHD, or warriors battling monsters in the dark. We might even teach a bear to use the potty.
