The setbacks in our lives can be anticipated (and dreaded) or unexpected and sudden. Huge or small, they are always painful. In any case, feeling temporarily stuck, scared, paralyzed or resentful is a normal response to an abnormal situation.

In such cases, I invite you to come and discuss your troubles with me, a neutral outsider with no hidden agenda who is able to explore a wide range of options and help you move towards where you would rather be.

Mental, emotional, social and behavioural disorders in childhood/adolescence can cause long-term problems that may affect the health and well-being of young people and families. Treating mental health problems as soon as possible can help children reduce problems at home, in school and in forming friendships.

You want them to enjoy meaningful relationships, be caring and compassionate, do well in school, work hard and be responsible, and to feel good about who they are." - Daniel J.
