Parenting Help
Parenting is full of immense joys and real challenges. Often times it is hard to understand what is going on inside of the brains and bodies of our littles. Not to mention, we as parents carry with us our own stories and wounds. The collision of our wounds and the difficulty of parenting can leave us hopeless, frustrated and confused. Let me help you clear things up. I have helped many parents come up with parenting game plans that match their kids’ personalities and result in healthier, better functioning family dynamics.
Individual therapy
My deepest joy is helping individuals feel more connected to their true selves. I help my clients process the past, understand themselves, find their voice and teach them concrete tools that enable them to bloom. Some of the areas I specialize in are: anxiety, depression, family transitions, grief and loss, illness and pain, spiritual issues, pre-engagement or pre-marital counseling, stress, trauma, and divorce.
Family therapy
Sometimes a neutral person can be really helpful in navigating family conflict or crisis. It can seem at times that we speak a different language than our kids. And when stress and emotions are running high, we have a hard time really hearing one another. I have been really successful in helping families in crisis understand one another and gain skills for better communication in the future.
postpartum and new mom counseling
I love my boys to the moon and back, but due to a traumatic labor, my second pregnancy landed me square in the middle of postpartum depression and anxiety (and a lot of other health issues). I deeply relate to the complex emotions and the incredible amount of adjustments that fill the months after a little one is brought home. I would love to come along side you as you navigate this new and ever-changing role as mom.
Teens
I love teenagers! My job as a counselor is to help teens recognize the voices/outside influences that are vying for space in their heads and hearts and to help them make concrete decisions about what voices they want to allow in. I love to teach teens techniques to help them experience less anxiety, pressure, depression and stress. I work with each teen to help them better understand, love and appreciate themselves.
young adults
These are the clients I live for! I pursued my counseling degree in part because of a group of college freshmen that I mentored during my undergrad education. I fell in love with the process of walking with them and had the opportunity to love them through a lot. In young adulthood, so much becoming happens (yes, I said becoming 😊). College and the first few years after can be challenging times to navigate. There are a lot of questions to be answered. Students are wrestling with who they are, what they believe about the world, complicated relationships, past hurts and starting to figure out the life they want to create for themselves. I absolutely love giving young adults the tools to walk through life more grounded in themselves, connected in their relationships and confident about where they are headed.
