I will work with you to identify evidence-based strategies to address thoughts, feelings or behaviors that may be interfering with your day to day life, relationships, and sense of self. We will also explore the roots of your emotions and experiences in order to peel back the layers to the source. Together, we will build a new path of understanding yourself and increase confidence in navigating your journey.
I work with people who have experienced grief in their lives that can be derived from many experiences. Grief can be the loss of a loved one but is more often the loss of a dream when a trauma or unhealthy relationship changes what you envisioned to be. Grief, especially those unseen, can feel overwhelming and isolating. I would love to act as a gentle guide to create a safe space for the expression of and healing from the pain of grief.
One area that I specialize in is working with those struggling to conceive or have lost a pregnancy. The emotional journey of fertility difficulties brings a constantly changing balance between anxiety, sadness, and hope, for many. I am credentialed as a "Family Building Counseling Expert" by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine after completing a professional training for mental health providers in this field.
I will help your child find the best way to communicate their feelings, through the modality that works best for them. Then, we will discover what evidence-based strategies are most helpful to combat any negative patterns. I will also help parents to understand the roots of your child’s thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This frequently leads to learning new ways to communicate within the family and identifying strategies that everyone can utilize to increase sense of connection and support. With this process, children and parents start to see changes in behaviors, and sense of self and relationships.
