Do you have a neurodivergent child who experiences challenging behaviors? Have you tried everything but still have difficulty supporting your child through emotional dysregulation? Are you feeling isolated and in search of someone who understands how to support your family? In my work I have found that many parents have difficulty finding appropriate support for their neurodivergent children. Between waitlists and not having appropriate diagnoses, it can be difficult to find the appropriate support for both caregivers and their children. It can feel frustrating waiting to understand how to better support the ones we love.

Overwhelming worry and stress seem to follow you everywhere. You struggle to maintain focus, make decisions, and let go of things. Constant overthinking depletes your energy, leaving you irritable, restless, and on edge. The more this persists, the more dejected and hopeless you feel about it ever changing.

I know what it’s like to carry more than we let others see. My hope is to offer a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through.

Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, uncover patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and find healthier, more fulfilling ways forward.
I also work with couples who want to reconnect, improve communication, or strengthen their relationship.

Raising a child can be an incredible experience for parents. However, parents often experience unforeseen challenges along their journey. Sometimes bringing on a therapist as a teammate can be helpful for families who are struggling to navigate these challenges.

Together we can also work to improve family dynamics and increase self-esteem.

You’ve replayed the arguments: the gaslighting, the blame, and the silence. Perhaps you wonder if you’re the problem and why nothing you do makes things better. You look strong on the outside, but inside you’re exhausted and fear your family is falling apart. You may be questioning your marriage but the idea of divorce is terrifying. Or perhaps your navigating the chaos of divorce/co-parenting/parallel parenting with a toxic ex and the overwhelm of being a single mom. The anxiety, brain fog, and emotional burnout are real, even if no one else sees it. It's time to move from surviving to thriving. You don't need to do this alone.

I get it. You've been wanting to make a change for a while, but it's exhausting just to think about taking on another thing. It's a chore just to manage all the day to day stuff of work and family and making everything run smoothly; much less eating healthy, going to the gym, working on relationships, AND going to regular therapy sessions! It's a spiral that's so easy to get lost in and it's hard to find a foothold to steady yourself and find a way out. Therapy CAN offer that foothold; some guidance to help figure out how to feel peaceful and content with your life, and have the energy to do things that make you feel fulfilled.
