Is your child or adolescent struggling with big emotions? Are their behaviors or big reactions affecting your family’s day-to-day life and relationships? Does it seem like the steps you take to try to help often just make things worse? Do you wonder if there’s a better way to support your child’s emotional growth and manage family stress? Now more than ever, kids and teens are feeling stressed and anxious, with parents worried, frustrated and uncertain as to how to help them navigate.
I help parents set up a clear structure to support positive connection and increase kids' ability to manage emotions. We'll identify and amplify your child’s strengths and set them up for success. I provide a safe and inviting space for children to express their feelings and concerns, recognize and own their best qualities, and practice new ways of coping.
Supporting children and teens in discovering their capacity and capability for greatness is my passion. I'm here to help you support and nurture the best in your child.
