In childhood, our outside shapes the inside, and in adulthood the inside shapes the outside. -Chip Judd. Are you experiencing a disruption in your parent-child relationship by ongoing big feelings, conflict, miscommunication, and disconnection? Are you seeking to understand your child and bring harmony to your family dynamics? Are your childhood wounds seeping through current relationships? Relationships are complex and messy. Learning to master the skill of repair, reconnection, and healthy boundary setting can promote growth and resilience. Over the past 12 years, I have specialized helping young children (ages 0-12), teens, and their parent's process trauma and decrease behavior challenges, parenting issues, family issues, divorce, and parent-child relational issues. In tandem, I also help adults discover their inner child wounds as well as relieve issues with anxiety, depression, and trauma. It is my hope to utilize the therapeutic experience as a parallel process to help enhance parent-child relationships, relationships with others, but most importantly the relationship you have with yourself. I would love the opportunity to partner with you, meet you where you are at, and create a safe space where your journey to healing can begin.
