At The Homestead, you are treated with love and compassion. Everyone enters with their own hurt or concerns, that deserve to be handled with the one-on-one attention you will receive. You will never reach a receptionist, just me. My goal is to meet each patient where they are and help them through what ever is on their heart and mind. We will stampede or tip-toe through those though times together. The idea of therapy can be overwhelming, for you or your children. The individualized treatment and care created for each patient puts your mind back in your control. Come as you are and have some hot chocolate. Shoes optional
I work with pediatrics, teens and parents, specializing in concerns including suicidal thoughts and self-harm, survivors of narcissistic abuse, anxiety and depression as well as borderline personality disorder. I offer a safe environment where we can openly talk about thoughts and experiences, fears and goals to improve the life of your family.
Talking to someone about the difficult parts in your life can be hard and feel overwhelming, but it does not have to be. I am proud of you for just looking and searching for help. If you are up for it, reach out. See if letting go of some of the thoughts on your mind help tomorrow feel a little lighter?

Using a combination of Narrative and Experiential therapy, with DBT informed skills and support, I like to keep hands active in art, sand trays or other creative outlets. You will often find me sitting on the floor with you at the therapy table while we draw out your experience and thoughts. Sessions are interactive and focused on what you need in that moment.
