INDIVIDUAL THERAPY ONLY - NO CONSULTS - BOOKING 1ST APPT FOR BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER.

Is irritability, anxiety, or anger robbing you of your vitality? Are you fighting with the kids, partner, family, and friends? Feeling like a failure? FYI, it doesn't have to be this way... Feeling stuck seems normal because life tricks us into believing "this is just who I am," but that's a LIE, and you can end this chapter. When you're ready, I can help you gain new perspective and self-awareness so you can challenge the lie and change your life. I especially like working with parents. I specialize in Emotion-Coaching Parenting, Emotional Regulation, Communication Skills, Boundary Setting, and Stress Management.

At the heart of my work is the belief that each of us has an intuitive sense of how to live in alignment with our true selves—but many have lost access to that inner knowing because our problems leave us fighting for survival. In our work together, whether individually or with parents and their children, we focus on restoring connection to Self for everyone.

In our first session you can expect to have a conversation with me. I take an informal approach to understand who you are and where you want to go in this next phase of your life's journey. While we are immersed in conversation I will be listening closely, asking questions to understand your origins and your most pressing concerns at this period in your life. I plant seeds. As the therapeutic relationship takes root, you can expect me to be analyzing your relationship with yourself and others, evaluating, providing feedback, and educating you about the patterns and behaviors that I have been trained to identify and make sense of. It is true that you may not like what you hear sometimes, and I'll be with you every step of the way to unpack that feeling as well. I will offer insight and suggestions, but you are ultimately going to be the one doing the work to change how you respond to your life. Change happens on the inside and the outer world follows effortlessly...
