Therapy for individuals, couples, or families should be a safe space to explore personal needs and goals. Using a broad lens we consider all of the factors and systems as we work collaboratively and with transparency towards strengthening your sense of yourself and the relationships that are impacting you. We consider cycles of interaction as well as vulnerabilities and survival strategies and areas where you may be getting stuck in long repetitive cycles. Together we identify new strategies and strengths to create new experiences. Therapy can be a strengthening journey of opportunity and growth.
Many things impact us including the families we come from, our current relationships, our hopes, dreams, goals and the power of outside forces including the places we work, culture, and the world we live in. Therapy is a journey that can build strengths in an open conversation. Ideally therapy becomes a resource that can be accessed through life changes.
I have a deep understanding of special needs parenting, health challenges, trauma, adoption and mental illness in the family. When one person is facing difficult challeges it impacts an entire family. Support can help individuals, couples, and families shift from places of great distress to one of support and healing.
