Being human is hard, especially being a tiny human in a world that has become immediate and absolute, uncertain and disruptive, and comes with many distractions. Whether your child suffers from trauma or is struggling with the brave and simple act of being human, I can help deal with their day-to-day struggles. Therapy sessions can focus on helping navigate daily obstacles, developing positive coping methods, as well as boosting self-esteem, self-confidence, and working towards an optimistic future. Sometimes, the whole family may need support while trying to communicate, learn and create boundaries so I can facilitate that as well.

Have you ever found yourself unable to feel better, despite past attempts to think your way out and move forward? Like a cycle you can't escape? Is it sometimes hard to "human"- to socialize, get yourself to focus, to navigate sensory overwhelm, or even to communicate to others? Maybe you've seen therapists in the past who seemed to be puzzled by you or not on your wavelength so you felt stuck. Are you looking to get to the root of these challenges and heal them for good instead of chronically coping just to get by? Do you need to make a change, but don't want to simply talk about your feelings? The good news is everyone can heal.

While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more.
