You might be feeling like you're stuck in a whirlwind of emotions, unsure of how to find solid ground. It’s like being caught in a storm where everything feels chaotic and out of control. I understand that this can be exhausting and discouraging, making even the smallest tasks seem insurmountable. I work with children, teens, adolescents, and adults who are grappling with profound feelings and behaviors such as depression, anxiety, OCD, or oppositional defiant issues (ODD). These clients are not only looking for a safe space to navigate their emotions and life's challenges but also are seeking to embrace personal growth and change.
Together, we’ll make sense of you or your child’s experiences and use practical tools to manage emotions. We’ll take it one step at a time, facing challenges together in a supportive environment. My goal is to help adults and teens recognize that, even though things feel overwhelming now, there are ways to navigate this storm and regain stability and hope.
Dealing with overwhelming emotions and challenging behaviors can be isolating and frustrating. I’m here to support adults and children in finding their footing and regaining their confidence. If you’re ready to start this journey, call for a consultation to see if we’re the right match for you and begin the process of positive change.
