Parents
The only constant about parenthood is that it is forever changing. Just when you finally feel that you have found your footing in one stage of life with your kids, things will inevitably shift and change and you will struggle to find your grounding once again. These ever changing waves can feel really hard to navigate on your own. Some stages of being a parent feel like being right in the center of a storm, and it can be so hard and so overwhelming to see the shoreline. But something about parenthood that is both beautiful and heartbreaking is that no stage is forever, and I consider it my role to help you ride the waves as they ebb and flow. Whether you are in the trenches with babies and toddlers and sleepless nights, or you feel that your teenager has sprouted another head and you don't even know who they are anymore, or you're navigating the ache of your identity shift as an empty nester, I am here. I am glad to provide you the space to process, feel all of these complex emotions (even the ones you feel guilty for having), and gameplan how to handle what comes next.
Complicated Family Relationships
All families are complicated. By virtue of having many different personalities with different needs and expectations all living under one roof, things can get difficult. Then throw in even more complicating variables like running a family business, doing wealth and succession planning, marriages, divorces, babies, or any other of the myriad of challenges that life has in store, and it may seem like too much to manage on your own. Maybe you're dealing with an estranged parent or child and navigating what being no contact" means. Perhaps you're trying to figure out how to set and maintain healthy boundaries in a family system with big personalities where everything seems blurry. We are all irreversibly shaped by our family systems, and we carry those things into our adult lives and relationships. This is where I come in. I uniquely conceptualize all of the difficulties that you may be facing through a family systems and family dynamic lens. I can help you to understand why certain patterns of behavior keep repeating, and we can work together to set boundaries, work towards healthy communication, and in my office you can finally just take a breath knowing that I see the whole picture. I see you and I'll help you figure it all out.
