Support for children and the grown-ups who love them.
Mental health support focused on children ages 2-12
A magic feather represents something you need to hang onto for a while to help you find what’s already there inside you. As a therapist, consultant, and trainer, I believe my job is to help people tap into the inner wisdom they already have, make sense of their own story, discover their own ways of navigating the world. I’m here to walk along side, to reflect, to guide. If you’re a parent struggling to connect with your child, I believe you can. You might just need someone to help you get there.
I can’t…
…fix all your problems.
…make your child behave.
…make the tough feelings disappear.
I can…
…be there with you on the journey.
…help you explore what’s going on.
…offer insights and reflections.
…help your child tell their story.
…help you tap into your own wisdom.
…share resources and strategies.
Everyone is welcome here. No matter what you’ve been through, where you’re from, what you look like, what you believe, who you love, how you were raised. Your body, brain, and family structure do not need to fit into any idea of “normal” here.
The experience of moving through the world in any way that is seen by others as abnormal or lesser is complex and painful. I know because I listen to others, and I know because I’ve lived it in certain ways. And not in others. I do know what it feels like to be on the outside. I don’t know precisely what that might feel like for you or your family. I do care and am aware of what an impact that can have on other aspects of life. I strive to be humble and respectful of everyone I interact with.
Most children I’ve seen love and look forward to the therapy experience, and most parents have expressed having a positive experience, understanding their children better, and seeing their children grow. And I think it’s important to acknowledge no therapist is a perfect fit for every client, nor are any of us flawless. I do my best, and I’m human and make mistakes. I am very open to feedback, and if I work with you and your family, I hope you feel safe enough with me to let me know if I’ve upset you, and if that’s the case, I will try to do better. It’s an honor and a gift to be trusted with anyone’s emotions and relationships, and I hold that gift with deep gratitude and respect.
