Are you beginning to notice a change in your child(ren)'s behavior and/or attitude recently? Do you feel that a change needs to be made but are unsure of how therapy can help or how to tackle the next steps? Sometimes a child's shift in behavior can occur slowly over a course of time while other children seem to shift overnight. Whether your child is experiencing tantrums, difficulty falling asleep, seeming suddenly more irritable, using increase negative self- talk, adjusting to new life events, or appears to be "grumpy" all of the time- I am here to help you better understand age appropriate development through the life span.
Let's work together, as a team, to help you & your child's emotional intelligence by learning new skills (i.e., identifying emotions, communicating more effectively by using words, etc.). As a therapist, I provide a safe place for my clients to process difficult experiences, have meaningful conversations, and learn new ways to express their feelings.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my children, taking my dogs on walks, crafting, spending time outside, traveling, cooking, & baking. I look forward to working together and overcoming any obstacles you may be experiencing. Please feel free to reach out to Roots of Resilience to schedule an appointment and/or to learn more information.
