Society tells us that being a parent is a special gift. We’re supposed to love every minute of it, be nearly perfect, and never get impatient. That sounds ideal, but the truth is that parenting is hard. Being a kid is hard. I challenge you to find a parent who has never lost their temper, or a child who never complains! And when we do get it right we don’t usually get much recognition. That’s the difficult news. The good news is that parents and children can learn to have stronger connections, more fun together, and actually look forward to their time as a family. You may just need more support, education, and the tools to do it.

As a clinical therapist with over a decade of dedicated experience, I believe the therapeutic journey should be centered around fostering a strong, collaborative partnership with my clients. Healing begins within the context of a safe and compassionate environment, where clients feel valued, heard, and empowered. Each person I work with is unique, and I am committed to tailoring my approach to meet their individual needs and aspirations.

If you suffer from feelings of inadequacy, loneliness or identity issues, there could be a deeper root. Depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, the pressure to meet others' expectations while neglecting your own needs, all could stem from past trauma. Complex trauma, familial or systemic, can cause internalized guilt, shame and self-abandonment. This can look like feeling resentful, reactive, avoidant, hopeless or shut down. However, you are not doomed to stay stuck there. Healing is possible, and can pave the way for a life freer from negative thoughts, with more peace, self-acceptance, authenticity and improved relationships.
