Do you have a child or teen who is struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or aggression? Are you at a loss for how to respond to outbursts or behaviours without using threats, bribes, or punishments? You have an overwhelming amount of information and advice, BUT your still left wondering what to do, where to go, or how to start. You want an approach that feels realistic, and tools that are practical because you are busy managing many different responsibilities.
I can help! I offer clinical counselling, coaching and consulting for children (ages 7+), teens, and their caregivers. I can help get to the root of the problem, and offer personalized, practical strategies that produce long-term results.
It can feel impossible to know where to begin. But, you don't have to do this alone! Email me to book a free consultation, so we can chat more about what this could look like for your family. It takes a village, and I hope to be a part of yours!
