HOW CAN I HELP?
Stuck, Anxious, Confused, Oh My!
Sometimes people feel restless or dissatisfied (in work, relationships, or with ourselves), but not sure what to do next. Together, we can discover where you are feeling stuck. Is anxiety spiking or your mood sinking? Does something just feel not quite right? Do you wonder if this is all there is? Or how you keep ending up in the same place? Exploring your internal world in a safe, caring environment can help you make sense of where you are. Together, we will work to manage distress, find meaning, and identify and address habitual patterns, then work to find a way forward that takes you closer to the life you want to live.
In a Time of Transition?
Divorce, marriage, parenthood, and loss of a loved one are some of the big changes we might face in life. We may also have illness, changes in work, and transitions to new life stages (ours or someone else’s) such as adulthood and middle age. These can be challenging to navigate. In times like these, we work together to find tools to help ease the transition while you adjust to changes, let go of what’s over, and make space for what’s next.
Parent Coaching
Parenting isn’t easy — and often it’s not what we imagined it would be.
We picture playing in the park, baking together, raising teens who talk openly with us, and staying close to our children as they grow into adults.
​
Sometimes it does look like that (and that’s wonderful). But many parents find themselves facing daily power struggles, big emotions, rudeness, anxiety, or a growing distance from their child. When that happens, parenting can start to feel exhausting, confusing, and even lonely.
​
The good news is: things can change.

Need Space for Honest Relationship Talk?
I don’t think relationships should be hard, but things that are meaningful to us require effort. Over time, couples might find that they have lost a connection, stopped communicating well, or are facing a new challenge or transition they aren’t sure how to navigate (births/deaths/remarriages for example). With these challenges, it can be hard to cultivate the space between two people for that effort to happen. With training in Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples, I work to create a safe space for honest, authentic communication, which makes clarity and genuine connection possible.
