I work with individuals and families, I work with children 5 and older, adolescents and adults.
Medela means "healing" in Latin. I feel that’s what I do, help others on their journey to healing. I feel that healing is a process; sometimes nice and easy, but sometimes it’s not. Each of our journeys look different and that is what makes us unique. We can work on a variety of issues that you or your loved one may be struggling with.

Whether you are a child, teenager, or adult; everyone needs someone who will listen and understand.
Everyone faces challenges in life. Some are external like chronic stress, or traumatic events. Over time we develop unhelpful and distorted ways of thinking that cause us to feel anxious or depressed. We then learn to cope in ways that make things worse like alcohol or scrolling through social media. There comes a time when it is necessary to talk through the stress or trauma, unlearn beliefs that are holding us back, and develop healthy ways of facing life's challenges with courage.

Adopting or fostering comes with many challenges. Families go into it excited about the child they will love and care for, and it is common to experience many challenges in loving a child from a hard place. Children placed for adoption or in foster care have experienced a great deal of loss. This leaves them dealing with pain on a deep level. Families often feel guilty or like they haven't been good parents if their child experiences attachment difficulties. But the truth is that it would be weird if they didn't based on their life experiences. These issues are complex and multi-layered, often involving the entire family system.

My priority is to meet you or your child where they are at in order to work towards discovery of their most genuine self.
Hey, I'm Larkin and I'm genuinely glad you're here! The idea that we or our loved ones are struggling and need help can stir up a number of uncomfortable emotions that we often try to ignore. If there is one thing I believe holds true, it is that having feelings makes us human. Feelings help us understand the world, they guide our thoughts and behaviors, they impact our relationships, and when we learn to listen to what they are trying to tell us, they can help us grow. When our lives have been impacted by trauma or adverse experiences, tuning back in to our mind and body can feel daunting and that is where I come in!
