Are you caught in a cycle of anxiety, reactivity and regret? 

Find relief, cultivate connetion, compassion and ease.

 I support folks who are struggling with chronic dysregulation, reactivity and relational rupture to find more ease and stability in their relationships (including their relationship with themself)!

If you, or you'r child, are struggling in these ways, welcome, I am so glad you are here. And no, you are not a bad parent! You, or your child, are stuck in protective patterns that are no longer working for you, we can shift this!

Parenting is a hero's journey, it is messy, and whole hearted business and parenting children with big, strong (and sometimes exquisitely loud) feelings, is REALLY HARD and can touch off all of our unprocessed wounds and pain points. It is an enormous challenge to provide steady, warm presence and care if we did not consistently receive it as children. Under these circumstances feeling exhausted, under-resourced and maybe even hopeless (or close) makes so much sense! A deeper understanding of one's self, and the science of our own behavior, can bring us closer to smoother, safer and more satisfying relationships, with your self, your loved ones and your children. 

As a psychodynamic therapist, I prioritize our therapeutic relationship and your experience of feeling deeply understood, seen and heard within it. With reverence, curiosity, a little good humor,  we will explore your most engrained habitual stress responses, whats activating these stress responses, and identify and practice soothing skills to support you in tending to yourself in these challenging moments so that you can remain grounded and stay regulated through the storm. Together will develop individualized strategies integrate into your daily life, your parenting and family systems for more felt peace, ease and connection. 
Whether you want to address your experience in relationship with yourself, your children or your partner, I look forward to working with you, toward your vision of more connection, steadiness in your relationships!
