We’ll talk about how to express emotions and navigate tough situations, preventing negative thoughts from interfering with daily tasks, learn communication skills, and more to meet your child’s needs.
As a parent it can be so frustrating to feel lost when it comes to handling your child’s emotional outbursts or difficulty staying focused throughout the day. When these behaviors occur frequently in a child’s life, whether due to ADHD, anxieties, or difficulty handling big emotions, children can begin to feel like something is wrong with them, that they can never do anything right. Maybe your teen is struggling with worry or anxiety, feeling exhausted by the pressure of school or perhaps a history of trauma. Seeing their pain causes parents to feel weighed down by guilt.

My work has consisted of specializing in helping individuals with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and past trauma, as well as working with parents or families to help them figure out ways to support their young or grown children.
Scheduling with a new therapist can be a challenging process, since it is so important to work with someone with whom you feel comfortable talking and sharing. I consider it an honor for clients to trust me and to allow me into their lives therapeutically. We begin by establishing a relationship through open communication, then developing goals and working towards those goals. If you want to work on understanding yourself or others better, getting through a challenging time, or building options that help you cope with stress, we can work together to do so.
