Do you feel like something is going on inside of them but they won’t open up to you? Are they acting out in ways that are disruptive at school, home or in life in general?

If you are going through a separation or divorce, you are probably concerned about the effect on your children. This can be a difficult time for them. Children’s emotions may go through stages and change. Your child may feel sad, confused, angry, guilty or worried about what will happen to them. How you handle the changes will be important for your child’s well-being. This is where I can help. I have over 27 years of experience working with children and families with a particular focus at this point in my career, on separation and divorce and the resulting impact on the family unit.

15 years of experience, working with children and adults, taught me there is no one fit for all solutions.
Do you feel overwhelmed by events, feelings, people? Do you struggle with your daily tasks, interacting with others, and managing your emotions? Does it feel like you are in a repetitive loop, unable to break free, no matter how hard you try to get out? This situation might be draining and overwhelming to deal with alone. Maybe it is time to approach all these questions in a secure environment. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with a non-judgmental and compassionate person, able to walk with you on the path of self-discovery, might help you reach your full potential and self-accomplishment.
