Are you wanting to find a way to understand where your child is coming from or come back to a healthy sense of wellbeing? I have worked with school aged children, before and after school, on social and emotion issues, along with working through difficult situations they may face or have already faced, and worked with them on how to communicate with peers and adults.

One of my key beliefs is that we all have needs in our life- such as the need to experience a sense of belonging and acceptance, value and worth. I can help you become more aware of what needs you and significant others in your life have, how you are currently trying to satisfy those, and explore alternative means to fulfilling your needs if appropriate. This can help with improving mood, enhancing relationships, decreasing anxiety- just to name a few concerns.
