Adult Therapy: You have met every marker of success. You have your dream house, the car you always wanted, the career you thought would fulfill you but you’re still so empty. You watch other parents with their kids after soccer practice and don’t see your own children light up with you the other way kids do when they see their mom or dad. The most intimate moment you have with your spouse is sitting on opposite ends of the couch mindlessly scrolling your phones. You never feel “enough” and you aren’t really sure who you are, what you love, or what makes you happy.
Parenting Support: You had a vision of what parenting would be like. You imagined you’d be the person who parented with ease, maintained a tidy home, and drove a (mostly) clean car. You’d make memories, speak in silly voices, laugh, run, and play. In your vision, your teen would come to you for the big conversations. Instead though, you open your eyes unsure of what to expect. Sometimes your child is nothing but smiles but other times, the switch seems to flip so quickly that your head spins. You swore you’d break generational cycles. You weren’t going to yell. You crave the sounds of your children laughing. Families that work with us find deeper connection to their children, they understand their children from a developmental lens and learn how to stop escalating their kids. They walk away from our time together, connected to and thankful for their children with clearer expectations and ways to express loving limits.

Couples therapy: You’ve stumbled across old pictures of you and your spouse. It doesn’t feel as if it was that long ago but there was a youthfulness, a carefree essence to the way the two of you connected. You didn’t really fight back then because there really wasn’t anything “important” enough to fight about; besides you had to maintain your “perfection” in the eyes of your partner so you wouldn’t have dared raise your voice. The weight of your shared responsibilities has brought the bliss the two of you shared to a screeching halt. Sometimes you aren’t sure why either of you are so bitter but you’re aware that you are and even more aware that this is not sustainable. Work with us to learn how we can help you reclaim what has been lost.
