Therapist spot light:
I have worn a lot of hats in my life. I am a certified sleep consultant, a licensed therapist, a mother, and a military wife. I’ve tried my hand at teaching, which led me to the world of therapy, and I failed miserably at sales for one of those MLM pyramid scheme companies. However, the hardest job I have ever had in my life, hands down, has been being a mom. I tell my clients, if it were any other job, you’d likely quit because the hours are long, you lose sleep, you constantly worry if you’re performing well enough, there is no such thing as instant gratification, and you give your entire self to this job, all without monetary pay. With that being said, there is no quitting parenthood. But once you start to reap the benefits, who would want to? When your baby smiles for the first time, when your kid hits those important milestones, when your child comes running to you to show you the drawing they are so proud of… those are the moments that make it all worthwhile.
These are the reasons I am so passionate about my job. I have experienced the difference between a home that is chaotic and a home that is calm. I help parents learn the skills they need to create a calm and loving environment, while at the same time, helping kids to learn the skills to emotionally regulate and thrive.
