I don't know that life ever works out exactly as we picture. As a therapist, I want to help others find practical, workable solutions to life's challenges while acknowledging their individual histories, family stories and future goals. Whether it is a child struggling with school peers, a teen faced with bullying or an adult navigating personal challenges, the resources needed to cope are found within the individual and are just waiting to be uncovered. I believe that you should guide your therapy experience and work toward goals that fit your life and values utilizing your strengths and beliefs.

You love your child, but raising them is a different story. They are falling behind in school, they are sneaking out, and they refuse to listen. There is chaos in the house and the arguments seem never ending. Respect is gone and the power struggle continues. Judgement and shame comes from friends and family members and you are at a loss of what to do because no matter what you've done, nothing seems to work. You must be overwhelmed and exhausted. Don't blame yourself for your child's out of control behavior!

I have my own children who have struggled with these issues.
You're starting a new school year, new job, or new relationship. Anxiety and depression is your constant companion and you can't eat or sleep. You feel sick without having any symptoms that the doctor can address. You see yourself as inadequate or a loser and will never be able to succeed. Every medication that has been tried has only made you feel worse or you recognize that you are taking too much. There has got to be a better way.
