No one said life was going to be easy. We go through challenging situations in life when you feel like the weight of the world is trying to overtake you. There's nothing wrong with seeking out additional support and assistance when these difficult times occur. Self-awareness is the key element one needs to possess in knowing when help is needed. Deciding to receive therapy shows that you are taking personal responsibility for your own well-being and thusly creating and gaining a better understanding of yourself, your goals, and your values.

Does your child have difficulty managing those ‘big feelings’? Do you notice changes in their mood or behaviors? Sometimes it’s hard for children to put their thoughts and emotions into words which often leads to confusion and frustration for caregivers. It’s even harder for children and teens to understand it themselves! I love to imagine kids like smaller humans- they experience the same feelings of sadness, anger, grief, anxiety, fear, and happiness that we as adults do! Children, adolescents, and teens deserve support and guidance too.

As you look back on your childhood you realize that you never stood a chance. Your parents couldn’t provide what you needed to thrive and that has had lasting effects. You wonder what would’ve been different if you were able to be a kid instead of having to worry about your parents’ needs. Maybe you feel alone because those closest to you don’t know the real you; and you fear being rejected if you show them the most vulnerable parts of you. You want to shift the way you show up in relationships, but you don’t know where to start. You are looking for someone who understands and can help you overcome what happened and move forward.
