Therapeutic Alliance:
Dealing with Change
As humans we often resist change, be it good or bad. New experiences cause anxiety and raise stress levels. It is hard to be out of our comfort zone. Unfortunately for us, “Change is the only constant in life.”, as was so well put by Ancient Greek philosopher, Heraclitus.
The challenge is to learn how to react to the constant change and become the person that you are meant and choose to be. Working in this context together, through the therapeutic alliance, we will create the change you want and help you develop your true self. Whether it means dealing with a current struggle, past traumatic experiences or creating the future life you envision
Types of Therapy and Services:
Individual psychotherapy
In our therapy sessions, we will work to solve current issues to address past and current life struggles. Together, utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches, we will explore your current thinking patterns and behaviors, your somatic experiences and learn mindful awareness, all resulting in a positive impact in your life.
Parent Consultation and support
Parenting is the most challenging job out there, and often we get 'stuck in the weeds' as we deal with the day to day stressors. I offer parent consultation to deal with developmental and behavioral challenges. I'll work with you and your family as your navigate toddlerhood through adolescence.
Parents and siblings of children with special needs
Parenthood is never what anyone expects, but when you are parenting a child or children with special needs you may feel that no one “gets it”. Somedays it is all under control and others you are lost and alone. Coming to terms with the reality of your child’s diagnosis or struggling to understand without a diagnosis is not something you need to do by yourself. You can determine the path for yourself and your acceptance as you navigate the unfamiliar yet still beautiful road your child is on. In addition to being a parent of a child with special needs, I've been working with other parents for over eight years professionally both in individual and group settings. Not only do I understand the emotional parenting challenges, but family dynamics, effects on siblings and importance of the educational and community resources.
Children and adolescents
I have a passion for working with children and adolescents. but unfortuantely my schedule does not currently allow for after-school appointments. I have a limited amount of before school appointments. Please inquire about my wait list.
