Perhaps you have a child (2+) experiencing a shift in the family dynamic, a recent trauma or major life change, or who has difficulty regulating their emotions & you want them to have a safe space to process these challenges & gain skills for working through them. Maybe you’re in a relationship, struggling to feel seen or heard by your partner(s), hopeful to connect through conflict or after a break in trust. Or you’re someone seeking support in processing feelings of overwhelm, loss & grief, or healing from past trauma & its impact on your life. Regardless of where you’re coming from, I will meet you there with care and compassion.
I use a trauma informed, relational & insight-oriented approach prioritizing safety, connection & exploration of the ways past influences present & your desires for the future. I have training & experience in play therapy, attachment theory, couples/relationship therapy, parenting support, & traumatic loss & grief. I am LGBTQIA+ allied & poly affirming.
Through our work together you could regain harmony & comfort in your relationships, the ability to navigate challenges with resilience & clarity, or a sense of hope as you participate in your child’s healing & growth. If you want to feel seen, heard, connected & supported, you’re in the right place. Reach out today for a free consultation.
