Are you hoping to find support to regulate your emotions and feelings and navigate feelings of overwhelm. Are you a parent that is challenged by the day to day stressors of life with an active family? You may even be the parent of an extraordinary child with special needs or emotional challenges of their own. I understand and have experienced the emotional challenges of parenting and family life. I work with children, adults, couples, and families, together we cultivate improvements in shared understanding, emotional regulation, and behavior. We will nurture emotional wellness through self compassion and trusting relationships.
My work is informed by frameworks not limited to but including attachment, narrative, and polyvagal theories. I work to understand each person’s emotional regulation, individual differences, and the power of the relationships they are in to nurture connection and shared understanding as a certified DIR therapist.
If you are seeking to nurture emotional wellness for yourself, your child, or your family and want to create grater connection and trust in your relationships, please contact me. Together we can create a greater sense of calm and self-compassion resulting in increased peace, happiness, and authenticity.
