“A wound that goes unacknowledged and unwept is a wound that cannot heal.”- John Eldredge

I use positive psychology and begin with a strength-based approach. Parts of you are stuck perhaps, but there are other parts that are quite functional and strong. We can use the strengths you have to bolster the areas that need to change and grow. Together, we can discover what's keeping you where you are, and what you would need to feel safe in changing. If you feel ready to talk, I will listen. During our therapy sessions, we have a safe and beautiful space to unpack some of the heavier emotional topics and bring those pieces out into the light. And toward the end of our sessions, put it all back together before you leave each week, so you can go about the demands of life until you return next time.
Weekly individual therapy
Whether you know exactly what’s going on with your child and are ready to get help, or you just know something’s not right and are looking for answers, I offer a safe place for children to share their feelings through play, art and games. I help children identify and process their feelings, related to their situation (trauma, parental separation/divorce, anxiety, depression, challenges with peers or school). I then help the child develop positive and healthy ways to get their needs met.
Weekly child therapy
If your teen/preteen is feeling stuck and needs support to find a better way of coping, I can help. If you're feeling grief, anxiety, or depression, I can listen and offer some supportive tools. Working with a past trauma can bring feelings of hopelessness, overwhelm, and anger. We can work to make a plan to change thoughts and behaviors that keep us all stuck. I am a parent and a classroom teacher also, so I can help navigate the school-family relationship, and offer some support about frustration with parents, school, interpersonal conflicts and friend groups. I work with youth often and really understand how tough that period of time is.
Weekly teen therapy
Weekly family therapy can help individual family members build stronger relationships, improve communication, and manage conflicts within the family system. By improving how family members interact and relate to one another, family therapy can foster change in close relationships. Some of the primary goals we will work on together include creating more realistic expectations, coaching more supportive communication, and creating appropriate space and boundaries for each member to feel seen, safe, and secure within the family.
