I understand your pain. Many times I’ve experienced that negative internal monologue that spirals out of control and impairs my ability to function emotionally effectively. Needless to say, I’ve done and continue to do my share of inner work to achieve my greatest potential. I have struggled with feelings of clarity and inability to connect with myself; that’s why I understand your pain.

The therapeutic process is unique and sacred to each individual. An ideal client understands that therapy is not a cure, that they are not broken and must be ready and willing to become an active participant in their life. My role as a therapist is to facilitate and assist clients in their healing, growth and empowerment that occurs with increased self-awareness and acceptance. As a social worker, I will also encourage consideration of how your environment both can and cannot support growth and behavioral change.

Lying awake at night, you wonder if you’ll ever be able to fall asleep again. Rethinking your day and overanalyzing every detail is exhausting, yet you can’t seem to put it to bed. Every day things get harder, while you keep putting that smile on, pretending you’re okay. Deep down, you feel like you’re falling apart. The more you think about everything you’re pushing away, the more overwhelming it becomes. The job you once loved feels like a burden. Your relationships are unfulfilling. A dark loneliness has settled over your life. With each passing day, you grow more resentful. You barely recognize yourself anymore.

“We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing”. -Charles Schaefer. Play is vital for children to express themselves and learn about their surroundings and general environment. In addition to exploration, it is essential for their development. Allowing the space for them to play freely generates the possibility of understanding their world and their motivation. Instead of the traditional format of communication, we often learn more about a child's thoughts, feelings, motivations, and struggles by watching them play.
