Problem: Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed that you or your child cannot fit in or keep up with everyone else. Feeling left behind, that your world’s on fire, and currently there’s no let up or ending in site. Do you feel like, you are walking on eggshells? At any given moment the world could come tumbling down with what feels like irregular and irrational emotional responses.

This may affect every aspect of your life, including school, work, and home. Any downtime together is often anticipated with fear and widens the divide of the family.

Approach/Solution:  I look to improve overall well-being by exploring your physical, mental, emotional, and social health. This creates a holistic view of where you are currently at so I can accommodate each of your unique life experiences and therapy goals.

My aim is to create an environment where you feel safe to dive deeply within therapy while protecting your most vulnerable parts.

This is offered through the creative arts toolkit where a variety of choices allows you to use and explore materials that you are most comfortable with.

Result: Is to increase self-esteem, self confidence and reduce overwhelming feelings.
