Peaceful family dinners, homework turned in on time, chores done without reminders. No fighting or yelling. Sounds amazing I know. I cannot promise any of that, but I can open up a space for kids, teens and parents to have conversations about what your family needs to feel love and peace. Yelling, shutting down, self-harm, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, all of that, is felt on the inside and by those around you. Kids often ask for help in hurtful ways when they are hurting on the inside. Teens will likely not acknowledge you or the pain. Come as you are. I embrace all with a warm heart, an open ear and with hot chocolate :)
I specialize in pediatrics, teens and parents. I work with all ranges of concerns from anger to suicidal thoughts, offering a safe environment where concerns can be addressed, managed and behaviors can be modified to improve the life of the child and family. I use a variety of approaches and offer a comfortable space to pause and re-set.
Talking to someone about the difficult parts in your life can be hard and feel scary, but it does not have to be. I am proud of you for just looking and searching for help. If you are up for it, reach out. See if letting go of some of thoughts on your mind help tomorrow feel a little lighter?
