Life will throw a variety of curve balls at families that will create disconnection and tension between family members. Chronic illness, divorce, having a child with a disability, and experiencing the death of a family member are some of the issues my clients face. If my clients could title a playlist it might be called “Dark & Stormy” or “Chaos & Laundry.” My hope is that they listen to their playlist but can also curate one called “Resiliency” and listen to it on repeat. Being a child is tough, being a teen is tough, and being a parent is tough. My clients need help reconnecting with one another after a big shift in their family. I offer a playful and collaborative approach to support. I help kiddos and teens by providing a safe place where they feel heard and can be themselves. I guide parents by helping them understand their own upbringing and how their parenting plays a role in their child’s ability to cope with life’s stressors. If you feel you’re stuck in an unhealthy dance with your parenting counterpart, child, or teen and feel like wanting to process how to pivot into a better direction please feel free to reach out to me.
