Dealing with the challenges of parenting is hard enough.
As an agency we have been supporting people via online sessions, with everything that falls “outside the box”.

Our consulting services are designed to help you communicate better and make sustainable changes that will benefit you and your family throughout your lives to come back to loving one another.

I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, PTSD, chronic pain/illness, eating disorders, and/or have concerns related to relationships, parenting, family of origin, career, identity, and life transitions.
When you feel like you are drowning, therapy allows you to come up for air, engage in meaningful self-reflection, and discover what you are made of and how you can be true to yourself going forward.

My style of practice is authentic, compassionate, and straightforward, and I believe that a sense of humor goes a long way in helping people feel comfortable and connected.

Are you a parent feeling lost or afraid?
Do you often hear "You're so dramatic," "You're way too sensitive" or "Stop trying to manipulate me"? So often having big emotions means you may find yourself feeling alone, empty and blaming yourself for things that are difficult to control. You may even find yourself pushing people away and then feeling abandoned by them. Maybe you have even wanted to ask for help but felt you did not deserve any help at all? If this sounds like you, I'd like you to know that you do not have to do it alone. I am a fantastic team player and together we will explore new ways to cope, communicate and build a life with less pain and suffering.
