Deciding to seek help is the first step in the counseling process, and most often, the hardest step. Parents want the best for their children, but sometimes it’s hard identifying what exactly is the best way to help them. If your child is experiencing difficulty managing their emotions or behaviors, finds it hard building relationships with you or with peers, or has experienced a major life transition that they are struggling to cope with, I am here to assure you that you are taking an important step to better you and your loved ones life.
I specialize working with children & adolescents with behavioral issues, autism, ADHD, depression, anxiety, special needs & their support systems. In addition, I am also a trained Positive Discipline Parent Educator. My role is to provide you the resources necessary to manage your child's behavior & help you connect & understand your child on a deeper level.
I understand it can be intimidating reaching out for support. By providing a safe and supportive environment, your child will feel heard, accepted, and gain the opportunity to enhance their strengths and self-esteem. If you are ready to take the first step or want to learn more, please reach out by giving me a call.
