Parenting is rewarding but can also feel overwhelming. Maybe your child is acting out, shutting down, or having big feelings that seem unmanageable. You’re doing your best, but nothing seems to work, and it’s exhausting. You want to feel confident, create a safe, supportive home, and give your child the tools to thrive.
Or you are the one feeling out of control? Maybe you wake up in the middle of the night, your thoughts racing about how to handle a conflict at work or worrying about whether you’ve upset someone. Anxiety feels like a way of being and you have a fear of making mistakes, or have a discomfort in setting boundaries.
For parents, I use Child-Parent Relationship Therapy to strengthen the bond between you and your child. Play is how children process emotions, communicate needs, and feel seen. Through this approach, you'll learn how to step into their world, speak their language, and build a deeper, more connected relationship.
For adults seeking personal growth, we can explore ways to recognize and acknowledge your anxiety that moves beyond words. Incorporating expressive arts, guided imagery, and embodied exercises to help you explore emotions and rewrite old narratives. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your connection with your child or with yourself, I am here to help.
