Dealing with your own pain while trying to engage fully in your life can prove to be an overwhelming task. It can leave you feeling lonely, isolated and without hope of a life beyond your painful feelings and experiences. The people I work with often struggle navigating through racial and religious identity issues while also trying to manage intense and difficult emotions. They can find it hard to deal with behaviors or thoughts that negatively impact their lives. They often want a chance to recognize, address and heal from the root of these emotions in the hopes of gaining control of their lives.

As a parent coach and therapist, I specialize in guiding families through the unique developmental stages of children from birth to 7 years. Parenting is hard and kids definitely don't come with a manual! During these early years, children experience rapid growth - emotionally, socially, and cognitively - which can sometimes lead to challenges like behavior issues, sleep problems, emotional regulation problems, and more. I've learned from both being a clinician (and a parent) that parents (and kids) are just trying to do their best. And sometimes, everyone needs a little extra support to make life go more smoothly.
