I See You, I Hear You, I Believe You Matter
Things are spinning out of control!
Is your child or teen struggling from low self-confidence, self-image or identity issues, anxiety and depression, or behavior issues? Are they struggling with adjustments to family separations, trauma, or abuse? I am here to help. I have over 30 years of working with children and teens and families like yours.
Your child and teen will feel seen and heard. They will know that they matter.
You want to:
SEE your child and teen flourish
HEAR genuine joy in their voices
FEEL connected to them
You are concerned that the emotional stress your child and teen are feeling may impact them, emotionally, physically, educationally, at home, and in the community. You are correct to worry about this. However, with the right help and coping skills or tools they can get through this difficulty and thrive.
I help children and teens will feel safe, supported, and empowered to be their best unique selves.
You want your child and teen to be emotionally healthy and resilient.
You are worried about your kid. They are struggling. You see them withdrawing or acting out. You hear their anxiety and insecurity. You feel their anger, their pain. You are afraid for them and where their feelings or actions could take them. You know they need to talk to someone. You know they need more support. I have repeatedly been told that I have a special way of connecting with children and teen’s that helps them open up and make changes.
I help children and teens by developing a relationship with them where they can safely face their fears and express themselves freely without feeling judged.
You matter, your child and teen matter, your family matters.
