I work with people who struggle with anxiety, mood swings, addictions, and marital problems. Life can be difficult at times, especially when we feel isolated. So often, we wear masks for the benefit of those around us, while inside we suffer and abuse ourselves. Few people are truly the person that their friends perceive them to be on the inside.Fewer still are those completely at peace with themselves.

Some days, it feels like there is a never-ending storm cloud hanging over you. No matter how hard you try, you can’t shake overwhelming emotions. One moment, you’re on top of the world, and the next you’re plunged into deep despair without any reason. It’s exhausting to feel like something terrible is always about to happen. Even the smallest setback triggers a cascade of negative thoughts that feel inescapable. The voices in your head are constant and upsetting. You feel helpless, exhausted, and misunderstood—even by your family and loved ones.

Navigating the adolescent years is full of ups and downs for both parents and kids. Your teen or young adult is someone who is high-achieving and bright, but finds themselves dealing with perfectionism, feeling overwhelmed and anxious, and comparing themselves to others. They tend to overanalyze, overthink, and their inner voice is too critical. As a parent you’re ready to see your child feel whole again. You’re ready to support them as they navigate change and transition. Most of all, you’re ready for them to see the wonderful gifts they have to offer. I want to help your family get there.
