You wish you could make it stop. The little voice inside your head that tells you, “You’ll never be good enough.” You’re losing sleep. You feel exhausted. And yet you just can’t seem to get that little voice to be quiet, even for just a few minutes a day. It started when you were a child, from a critical parent who demanded you get straight As on your report card, participate in numerous sports, and volunteer on the weekend. And when you weren’t perfect, their disappointment was known. You were used to the silent treatment. You were used to being afraid of their reaction. You were used to the unachievable standard.

It is so hard to see a child struggle.
My goal is for every student to feel their personal best. I want my clients to realize their abilities and attain everything they want to achieve. I empower your student, by helping him or her realize strengths and provide skills to overcome or compensate for challenges. We ALL have some attention deficit, anxiety, depression, learning, and autism spectrum disorder characteristics that interfere at times. Private psychological testing helps us know when these behaviors or feelings are beyond what is age expected and how it may hinder success. Individual therapy helps us learn to minimize the negatives, feel confident and be happy.

It can be overwhelming and isolating when your child is struggling and you’re unsure how to help.
Is your child or teenager struggling? Maybe they are coping with mood changes, excessive worry, or problems at school. Perhaps there is family conflict, including divorce or separation. Or they are dealing with bullying, relationship drama, or low self-esteem. As parents, we want nothing more than for our kids to be happy. We want them to learn healthy ways to manage their emotions and feel good about themselves.
