Discussing your mental health should be an ongoing conversation. While it can be nerve-racking, it's important to identify someone you feel comfortable with to start the conversation.

The ins/outs and highs/lows of life can be draining and in certain circumstances leave lasting imprints. In the moment, your main goal may be to just get through it. Yet, as time passes you may experience feeling imbalanced, lost or on edge. You may have also learned that you can't “trust people” or may feel apprehensive towards “getting help”. You may even tell yourself "I got this" or "It's not a big deal". You begin experiencing what I like to call "suffering in silence". While I am a firm believer in your capability in handling day to day challenges on your own, my message is to highlight that you do not have to.

Life can be challenging for children and teenagers as they learn to navigate an increasingly complicated world, define their identity and gain independence, all while trying to manage their emotional responses and fit in socially. It is equally challenging to parent our children and respond to their emotional needs in an effective way. Children, teens and their parents often face difficult hurdles as they navigate the transitions and life changes associated with child and adolescent development.

Finding the right therapist for you, your child or your family is an intensely personal decision and there are a few things that might make me a good fit. My experience with evidence-based models provides me with a framework for treating an array of mental health and family issues and has taught me to be goal-oriented and outcome-driven. It's important to me that my clients feel relief quickly, whether it be through skill building, shifting a family dynamic or processing the root of the problem-the core conflict-that sustains the problematic feelings and behaviors.
