My emotions make me feel out of control. I just want to live authentically & be accepted as me, but self-doubt & fear get in my way. My family/spouse is unhealthy at best & abusive at worst. I've lived so much of my life trying to be enough for everyone else that I lost myself in the process. I'm not even sure of who I am anymore. I thought they loved me, but then how could they treat me this way? My relationship feels like a constant rollercoaster. One minute things are great & then it's terrible. Worse, I have no clue how we even got there. It feels like madness. No contact? Limited contact? I just don't know what to do!

Is your child struggling with issues related to major life changes, trauma, grief, anxiety or other difficulties? Are you a parent trying to help your child navigate major life changes or difficulties? I’d love to help you and your child on this journey toward healing and self-discovery. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting, but I’m here to guide you and your child through any obstacles. My goal is to help your child understand themselves more deeply and better cope with change. My office is a welcoming and safe space created for clients to feel comfortable while working through any difficulty they may be facing. I utilize play therapy methods to connect with and help children overcome and succeed while they are gaining self confidence. For adolescents, I implement art and cognitive behavioral activities into sessions which allows the adolescent to be creative, grow and heal, in a fun environment. As a mental health professional, I respect and honor each person's unique situation. I implement methods based on age to instill self-understanding and to encourage clients to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations.
