Society likes to pretend that parenting is always rewarding and that attachment happens without effort. But as parents, we know how hard it can be. Being a child isn't easy either, and young children won't tell us they are struggling. They will show us with behaviors, such as disturbances in eating, sleeping, and toileting, and within their relationships with others. I work with children 0-9 and their caregivers to resolve attachment issues, trauma (big or small), mood disorders, and behavior challenges. I also enjoy helping adults with attachment concerns, transitions and adjustments, postpartum issues, or parenting stresses.

Resilience, the ability to bounce back from adversity, is born through kindness and self compassion. Trauma, feelings of anxiety, depression, lack of hope or motivation, and disconnection can cause us to lose compassion for ourselves and others. We want to feel good, be active, and live the way we want to live but sometimes stress and adversity create roadblocks that stand in the way. “I can be changed by what happens to me.

Most everyone experiences trauma during their lifetime. Trauma can include death/illness of a loved one, physical, sexual or emotional abuse, domestic violence, bullying, divorce and/or other devastating events. Now, with COVID 19, our world is enduring primary, secondary and even tertiary trauma. If left unresolved, trauma can manifest into depression, anxiety, anger, difficulty in social relationships, obsessions, compulsions and difficulty focusing at school or work. I have the skills to help process through these issues; both individually and within the family. I enjoy supporting others as they discover their own resiliency.

I believe that life is a journey and not a destination. The past has brought you to where you are, however, you can decide where your journey will take you.

It is important that the client develop his/her own journey to enhance their inner strengths to become the person they want to be. I love what I do. I come along beside my clients to develop a positive client/therapist relationship which is very important for fostering positive life changes.

Our world is continuing to change “We are dealing with collective loss of the world we knew”… ”This is grief.” David Kessler, MD. As we acknowledge these changes, we may find ourselves sad, anxious, irritable, and lonely. The external disconnection and stress we are experiencing in the environment may mirror our own internal experiences. Depression, anxiety, and relationship issues often accompany drastic changes.

I have 20 years experience treating the negative consequences of trauma that are all too common. I appreciate the often tremendous challenge of seeking help, particularly in an online environment, and aim to ensure that clients feel valued, respected, and safe throughout the time we work together.

I believe the therapeutic relationship can be both healing and empowering for individuals. I use a cognitive behavioral, strength-based approach to alleviate the effects of trauma and assist individuals to reaching their goal. As we go through life, we must learn to navigate through traumatic events such as the impact of life-threatening illnesses, childhood abuse, and other traumatic occurrences. Often traumatic experiences change our way of life forcing us to define a “New Normal”; I will provide therapeutic support to combat issues such as anxiety, depression, frustration, and trauma.
