Are you committed to ongoing recovery from alcohol or other drugs? While you may have struggled to get sober and stay sober in the past, maybe it is time you started working with a therapist with expertise in stabilizing in recovery.

Do you feel stuck in your current relationship? Maybe you are trying to determine whether or not to stay with your partner. It feels like you are having the same arguments constantly. Whether you are trying to decide if you want to stay in a committed relationship, are adjusting to life with young children or you are empty nesters, life transitions as a couple can be challenging. My passion is understanding how early life and childhood dynamics impact present functioning and relationships. Often, partners cannot see how interactions in their original family system complicates communication and daily life. This is especially true with addictions, mental illness, trauma and/ or abuse early on or in the present. Even adults who appear resilient, and high-functioning may struggle to have healthy connections in their relationships. Couples committed to exploring how their past is influencing their present and bravely finding more meaning, reach out so we can find a time to meet.

Maybe you look into the mirror and keep wondering what your life is about, questioning your worth. People who have grown up with dysfunctional and traumatic family patterns tend to be afraid of change. The truth is the answers will only be found if you are looking. If you are feeling stuck, needing guidance, or accountability in finding the motivation to explore what is next on your journey, I would be honored to do this work with you. There might be opportunities you never considered that would bring you greater joy, fulfillment and the capacity to be the human you long to be. What is stopping you from venturing out?

You may wish you could bypass the difficult emotions or push down the pain. You are starting to feel as though you can’t continue to rely on your friends or loved ones without feeling like a burden, and life does not come with a manual in terms of how to find your way through grief and loss. Maybe others are pressuring you to “get up and move on.” Let's talk about what support you might need to heal.

Co-parenting, even for the strongest couples can be tough to navigate. Rarely do we raise kids with people that were raised in the exact same way we were. It might be time for you to have an objective third party, who is able to assist you in hearing each other. The best possible outcome for your children is to have parents that are aligned and sturdy leaders. I am willing to provide compassionate and honest feedback and guidance for you.

If you find yourself stressed out, tired, and triggered by your past trauma as you are parenting, please reach out to me today. Let me be the voice that is cheering you on, and reminding you that everything is a phase. While it might all feel like too much right now, you do not have to find your way alone.
