I firmly believe that all children need to feel seen and know how wonderful they are, especially when facing challenges.
Young children and teens struggle with life changes, big emotions, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, trauma, family conflict, and personal stressors just as much as the rest of us. Parents often feel helpless, overwhelmed, and worried about how to help their kids. You are trying to make sure they are happy and develop healthy relationships but it’s hard to know how to do this with everything else that’s going on in life. Everyone, including kids, needs a safe space to work through things. Together we can work toward new perspectives, increased self-compassion, better emotion regulation, and changed behaviors.

While we can't change situations that have occurred in our past, I can work with you or your child to better understand situations so that they no longer control you and/or your family.
Our practice has limited availability at this time! Each of us are unique, and so are our struggles. As unique as we are, there are times in all of our lives where we feel challenged, stuck, exhausted, or lost. It can be beneficial to seek help from someone outside our situations to help us find ways to make positive change, and move through these trying times. We use an eclectic and collaborative approach combining both psychotherapy and neurotherapy in the therapeutic process. Our focus is allowing individuals to use their own strengths and weaknesses to develop a pathway for a healthy balanced life.

Life can be a challenging journey. How are you at navigating the bumps in the road? Do you have the skills you need? Are you feeling disappointed in yourself and often frustrated with others? Is it challenging for you to express your needs in ways that you feel heard? When you are upset or frustrated, have you pushed others away, sabotaging relationships? Is it difficult to set and achieve goals? Understandably, frustrations intensify when efforts are unsuccessful. If you have thought "life will get easier when ..." and you are still waiting at a long red light, let's talk.

Are you experiencing stress that is impacting your life? Are your relationships struggling? I believe in the importance of creating and maintaining healthy and fulfilling relationships through my work with children, adolescents, families and couples to achieve the relationships they desire. Most of the time things happen and we manage fine, but sometimes things happen that throw us for a loop and we need some additional support. Using Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (thoughts and behaviors), Family Systems Therapy, and Play Therapy as appropriate, I help individuals and families identify and use their strengths to facilitate their goals for growth and change.
