Are you uncertain about making the right choices for your child? Maybe you’ve been wondering what their future will look like if they’re constantly struggling now. Most parents feel as though they have a lack of information and understanding of why their child struggles and how to make it better. Watching your child suffer and feeling hopeless to know how to help is heartbreaking. A part of you knows that things should be better, but you’re seeing little progress and may even be dissatisfied with the current services your child has been offered.

Are there parts of you that feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, disconnected and burnout? Do you feel like your relationship with your partner has changed after having children?

We usually come to therapy when we feel stuck and just need someone to help us figure out how to get to the other side. I often think of the ups and downs in our lives as being like the ocean. It constantly changes, ebbs and flows. Often, during the ebbing times in our lives, we need help to figure out how to make our lives flow again or how to “hold on” until it naturally does.

I specialize in helping couples, families, and children. As human beings, we have a need to feel connected to a significant other who becomes like a safe haven and a source of security and comfort. This person helps us to face the world with confidence because we know there is someone who cares about us. When we feel disconnected from our attachment figure, we feel unprotected and life's challenges seem to be bigger and scarier. I help couples and families to feel secure in their relationship by strengthening their bond so that they become responsive, accessible and emotionally engaged with each other.

Carrying that heavy backpack of emotional "stuff" around? Need help unpacking? All too often we carry these heavy loads, not realizing there are resources and skills that will help you feel better. Improving your everyday quality of life is possible. Trauma, work stressors, strained relationships, and self-esteem are the most common struggles I see in my practice.

Do you have difficulty hearing your preferences? Experiencing joy? Are you doing all the “right” things yet still feeling anxious and empty? Oftentimes, in our efforts to stay safe, we wall off the parts of ourselves that seem unacceptable or extraneous. Over time, as we lose touch with our true essences, we look outside ourselves for answers and validation, and life ends up feeling stressful and meaningless. I am trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Sensorimotor Therapy, modalities that can help you go deeper and effectively process the trauma and beliefs that are obscuring your unique path to joy and connection.
