As a systems thinker, I often help clients explore ways to strengthen their sense of belongingness through strengthening relationships with others.

You seem to have it all: career success, a beautiful home, and a seemingly perfect relationship. But beneath this facade lies pain. You've learned to mask your struggles, turning life's lemons into lemonade. Yet, this facade comes at a cost—you've sacrificed feeling and true living. Life feels like a monotonous routine; you're merely going through motions. Hidden beneath it all lies a lack of career purpose, overwhelming family obligations, and a fading spark in your relationships. You're mourning your former self, resenting the shell you've become.

Does your child have trouble focusing or performing in school? Are you looking for parent strategies to better support your child’s needs? Are you concerned with your child's mental health or development? As a parent/caregiver, your natural instinct is to provide support for your child, although knowing the "what" or "how" is not always clear. All behavior communicates something. Whether it is a skill deficit, learned pattern, or underlying symptom, determining what lies behind the behavior is the first step to supporting it. You bring the experience as the parent and together we will determine the "what," "why," and "how."

I also attend closely to the therapeutic relationship and to the development of insight or increased self-awareness in clients.
