Some people will never understand what it is like to be raised by parents who don’t see you. The pain you feel when they put everything and everyone before you. How small and invisible it made you feel when they ignore the love you have for them and choose “it” instead. The “it” could have been drugs, partners, friends, siblings, work, etc…no matter what you did they never seemed to choose you. You may have even had to take care of your parents and become a 2nd parent to your siblings. You found yourself making excuses about why they were not present, why they forgot, and then you learned to numb the pain. Now you are at a point where it’s becoming more difficult to numb the feelings and to hide your hurt; you want to let go of the hurt/pain from the past. Maybe you have trouble engaging with your parents because they haven’t changed, they still attempt to make you parent them and minimize your needs. They may even try to treat you as if you are still a child. I specialize in therapy for adult children of emotionally immature parents. The work I do is centered in inner child healing, nurturing you through those memories of a stolen childhood. Inner child healing is about relearning innocence, experiencing safety, validating your feelings, accepting joy, and creating a deep sense of worth.

Do you feel like you can’t escape harmful patterns, are spinning in anxiety, or unable to find real joy? Are you struggling to understand why you can’t create the change you want to see in your life? For many of us, the root of our most difficult feelings and harmful patterns are emotional wounds we still harbor deep inside. The process of uncovering and learning about our personal histories can help us move through the pains that are buried within us, and towards the life you want. My approach to therapy is warm, affirming, nonjudgmental and inquisitive. I practice somatic therapy which involves helping clients pay attention to their physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts, and using those cues to promote healing and growth. I believe that an attunement to the body’s signals is a powerful tool in the therapeutic process. My work has taught me that individuals have the answers they need within themselves and tuning into those answers in the body can use a little support. If you are ready to tap into the wisdom that you already hold, I invite you to reach out. You deserve a safe, comfortable space to process and feel, and to find the joy you’re looking for.

My six year teaching experiences have placed me in a sector towards understanding students' motivations and what gravitates them into their success. Students have a variety of needs, and respond compassionately when those needs are met, worked towards, and/or expanded. My qualifications in Mindful Classroom, SEL Leadership, Mindfulness Certification, Art Therapy, Group Therapy, guided meditations, as well as my overall MSW, show only a few of my experiences with differentiation in student capacity, relationship cohesiveness, parent-peer interactions, as well as student success habit building. ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), & CBT (Cognitive-Based Therapy) Therapy , as well as Art Therapy modalities are strategies that I’ve utilized to best support student’s emotional and mental health while in the school setting. MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction), Strength-Based, & Trauma Focused approaches are what has assisted student populations the most since my start to education in 2014. All approaches assist students in teaching them to accept & commit to their growth, challenges, and resiliencies that help them strive for better. As each student is different, ACT & CBT train the mind to find beauty in difference, acceptance towards any changes, and committing to the promises we set for ourselves & our lives. While Art Therapy allows each student or client to create from within and grow towards expanding on that creation. I use mindful practices as an assistant in understanding brain parts; part of growing your brain is noticing when common obstacles get in your way, you have the power to train 1 your mind and choose growth to get past that obstacle, versus negative self talk, which may be automatic for some students. The therapeutic approaches I cater to show students this bio-cognitive connection aligned student outcomes & actions in school. Students enjoy the power in their minds and then activate dopamine positive experiences compared to negativity in the mind, which activates the stress hormone. This is very important in K-8th grades as students are defining multiple identities & formulating relationship bonds. This is just as important in high school grades 9-12th, as students are preparing & planning for independence & pivots. My experiences as a college preparatory high school student has assisted me in carrying the mindset of ACT, Mindfulness, and Goal Planning forward with my students as well.

If you're struggling in a relationship, with a particular issue, or just don't feel like yourself anymore, therapy may be right for you. Here you'll find a relaxed and empathetic environment where you can safely identify and explore those issues that may be getting in the way of you experiencing a more fulfilling life or relationship. My goal is to not merely treat the symptom, but help you understand the underlying cause of it. So for instance, not just minimize the behavioral display of anger, anxiety or depression, or whatever the concern is, but help you understand why you're so prone to experiencing it. The result is that you'll become much more empowered to live and feel the way you want. And, you'll inevitably become more confident in dealing with your present concerns in a way that will make lasting positive change. View 4 Photos The reality is that what you’re experiencing is a result of your past. If you're a couple, it involves both your pasts. It's what we call 'baggage'. That’s why therapy involves not only developing healthy emotional management techniques to address the behavioral concern, but also the exploration of how the past has in effect created the present situation. Session work then entails exploring your personality, interpersonal style, parental relationships, childhood events, traumatic experiences, emotional distress, romantic relationships, coping mechanisms, and elements of identity formation. If you want to become more self-aware, increase your potential to live life to the fullest or experience higher levels of relational connection and intimacy, give me a call. Appointments can be made for both day or evening.
