Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused, uncertain in your relationships. Has something changed and things just don’t seem as manageable lately. Maybe you have noticed a change in your child and they are acting different, distancing them self, struggling at school, stressed by peer relationships, seem more irritable and angry, have low motivation. Is the struggle with regulating or coping with uncomfortable emotions? Perhaps feelings are coming out sideways and we are coping in ways that are working, but not really working.My goal is to provide a secure, safe, supportive space for you or your child to share, heal, grow and thrive.
I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, parents, and families. I believe creating an healthy connection with our self and the ones we care about helps us heal. My clinical experience focuses on healing trauma, attachment, and relational wounds. I have specialized training in EFT, Trauma Informed Care, Family treatment, and EMDR.
I focus on inviting change by doing the deep core work to alleviate the distress we all experience. I am passionate about supporting you and your child with identifying strengths, building resources, and living your authentic, true self. Finding the right therapist is important!
