Counseling for Parents, Caregivers, Educators and Kids 

Are you in a cycle of frustration, irritation, and reactivity with your children? Are you struggling to stay grounded and connected with yourself and your kids? Are your kids expressing their feelings in super challenging ways? Are you eager to ease the stress and cultivate more ease in your family system?

Yes? If so, I am so glad you're here and you are welcome, just as you are! Let's get into this together.

Caring for ourselves and growing a family is hard! It is harder and drearier when we feel isolated, exhausted, and under-resourced and have no idea how to respond to our children's or our own overwhelming feelings! That is such a hard place to be! On the contrary, when we feel connected, supported, and empowered, we feel more confident and experience more compassion for ourselves and others! When we are deeply understood we feel better! This goes for our kids too! That changes everything! 

As a child and family therapist, my primary goal is to show up for you and or your child, in a way that allows you to feel deeply understood, seen, heard, and accepted. From this connected place, with great care and curiosity, we can explore what is coming up for you or your child in moments of distress. When we address our own nervous systems' responses (our wacky behaviors) with compassion, or when we un-earth old wounds and traumas, acknowledge and accept them, while held in the container of a strong therapeutic relationship, we are quite literally integrating the big feelings and memories and then able to live and lead from a more grounded, connected, and nourished place. That's interpersonal neurobiology in action!

With a ton of compassion and a deeper understanding of ourselves, or our children, we will also identify and develop helpful tools, skills, and individualized strategies or approaches to integrate into your most treasured relationships for more ease and joy. ​​

Sometimes, I work primarily with the child and or youth in the family. Sometimes, I work primarily with the parents/caregivers. Please reach out to learn more about what this process could look like for your family.
