At Cycle Breakers, we understand that raising a child or teen is hard these days. Kids are facing enormous challenges and can easily struggle with a variety of emotional, behavioral, or social problems. Parents worry about their children's well-being and want the best for them. It's painful to feel like you are watching them struggle and don't know what to do to help them. Sometimes, parents feel like they are working hard to do better than their own parents, yet feel confused about what that actually looks like. Sometimes, parents feel surprised about what gets triggered from their own histories or childhoods and powerless to cope.

Making the decision to begin psychotherapy can be
difficult. "Am I really crazy?", "My parents want me to go" or "The last time I went it was useless," are typical obstacles that prevent someone from scheduling the first session. Therapy is making the first step towards improved self awareness. I point out to clients that therapy becomes a weekly safe place, away from their busy schedules, to focus solely on yourself. When this happens people are often surprised at what they discover.

I view therapy as a collaborative partnership between you and I, and I highly value building deep, genuine connections with the people with whom I work. Through connection, and a gentle balance of nurture and challenge, lasting change can occur. Many of my patients begin therapy feeling stuck, anxious, unhappy, struggling with effects of trauma or loss, or desiring deeper connections in their relationships. Therapy can help you understand more about yourself and what you can do to feel better.

When we truly know ourselves, the underlying motivations for our actions, and the subconscious fears that drive us, we can begin to exercise more control over our lives and move towards self-actualization. Mental illness is often defined through a lens of dysfunction, yet, even if we were able to remove all of the dysfunction from one's life, the experience of needing support would still be present for many people. My goal is not only to make sure my clients are functioning at their best, but also that they feel strong, genuine, and intentional while doing it.
