Children and youth live in a different world today than most parents grew up in. It can be difficult for parents to understand why their children are expressing anxiety, sadness or stress in their lives. I can help children and youth navigate through their emotions, worries and self-defeating thoughts in a fun and engaging style. I coach children and youth through emotional regulation techniques that they can use in all situations to help manage challenging or stressful situations. I use a relational, client centered model to help children and youth understand themselves better in order to feel more secure and regulated in life.

Negative events or stressful experiences can interfere with how you are feeling about yourself and your relationships with others. When your mood feels up and down and you are under deep stress, it is hard to see a way out. When your past troubles you and impacts your present (and you fear the future) it can be devastating. You want to feel better, lighter, and like you've moved "past your past". You want a full life that feels easier than the one you're living. You want to be a better parent, partner, friend and family member. I completely understand, and I can help.

As individuals living in an often harsh world, often pushed to and fro from external and internal influences, we all will need at some point an anchor to ground ourselves. It should be the right of every individual to have the firm foundation to build on and achieve their greatest potential. We know that we can not grow to become our best selves in a vacuum. Just as building a strong foundation for a building required a group of skilled artisans so too do we as individuals need a strong skilled support network as none of us can succeed alone.
