Being a parent is one of the most beautiful, rewarding, even amazing gifts of this life. Yet, it is also one of the most difficult, exhausting, and worrisome tasks given to us. Though we as parents often sacrifice and work diligently for the good of our children, sometimes our relationships with them can be strained while they struggle with anxiety, sensory concerns, overwhelming stress, or perfectionism. We as parents often feel deeply for them, but don't always know how to help. What's more, sometimes we are suffering from those same things without support of our own.
Whether your child or you as a parent are valiantly facing anxiety, sensory concerns, overwhelming stress, or the pressures of perfectionism, I am here to help. Utilizing my integrated theory, called MeaningPlay, I specialize in supporting parents and children in performing their daily tasks and life missions with meaning and a spirit of playfulness.
I will support you and your child in turning towards your most important meanings, strengthening your attachment relationship, facing sensory issues, and enhancing your shared play. You have been wonderfully strong in living your life of meaning thus far. Reach out today to keep growing stronger.
