About My Clients
As a mom of 4 kids I know the crazy-busy of family life. I love working with new moms, parents who are at their whits end and mom’s of children with special needs. I recognize that motherhood can flip your life upside down. I find many parents who feel undervalued and overwhelmed with expectations and uncertainty. There is fear, anxiety and confusion about how to manage your life and your family life. Parents will invest in their kids, but don't take the time to invest in their well-being.
My Background and Approach
I have worked in private practice over the last 9. I love to connect with others and encourage them to be the best parent they can be. I believe in you and am ready to fight alongside you for you and your family. Great parenting is taking time for yourself and I am ready to show you how! I love talking all things parenting and have the enthusiasm to help you grow in your personal and family goals. I take a psychodynamic approach along with a smattering of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Basically we look at you as a whole person, where you are today and how you got here. I like to work with concrete goals and plans and use a framework to give you direction on where to go next. I listen to your thoughts, fears, values and beliefs, consider it all and we come up with a plan of action.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in you. I believe in your abilities to know what is best for you and your family. I believe that you can develop a calm, confident approach to life. I believe that life will throw you curves, but you can learn the skills to take them in stride and not allow the overwhelm to consume you. I find that I work best with those who are motivated and willing to take the time for some self-reflection. Therapy can be hard work. It can be intimidating and bring out vulnerabilities. It is important for you to have comfort and trust in the person you are working with. I value honesty, both from myself as your therapist and you as my client. Therapy is not perfect, but we can work together through the process and develop lifelong skills for you to build on.
