“To heal is to touch with love that which we previously touched with fear.” Stephen Levine

Parents

You love your kid, but you’re maxed out and overwhelmed. As parents, you may struggle to understand your child’s needs, feelings, and behaviors. I am able to help with what gets lost in translation, as children may not yet have the language to explain their emotional experience, and may show it behaviorally instead--either by withdrawing or acting out. I can help you to better manage your overwhelm, understand the needs of your child and to communicate with them in a meaningful and connected way, give you the space to breathe and process, and strengthen the parent-child bond.

I am a mother of two young children and additionally have 16 years’ experience working children, and their parents, who have anxiety, depression, special needs and/or who have experienced trauma.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

Moms

Are you a touched-out mom who is trying to figure out your new identity and care for yourself, as you care for your growing family, and don’t know how to manage it all? Do you struggle with sleep deprivation, stress, worry, overwhelm, or feelings of inadequacy?  Do you feel stuck and tired of the way things are? Are you in relationship transition and unsure about how to navigate through the muck? Or are you pregnant and worrying about all the changes and “what-ifs” that come with this new chapter of life?

If you’ve answered “That’s me!” to any of the above, I am here to help.  I am a mother of young children myself, one of whom had a traumatic birth and has medical trauma, and I get it! I will help you stand in your strengths and sit with you in the mess. I can help guide you through the challenges so that you are able to live your fullest, most satisfying and meaningful life, because care and wellness are basic human needs and rights. I will help equip you with the tools, and we will walk down the path to wellness, balance, and fulfillment side by side.
