Childhood comes with ups and downs for children and the parents who are figuring it out alongside them. Children show us their concerns through their behaviors. Sometimes difficult things occur that impact a child's behavior and your parenting. As a parent you may be unsure of what to do or say to help your child in difficult moments and sometimes your own childhood experiences may be interfering in your parenting journey. I support children and parents by helping them overcome traumatic situations together, manage anxiety, understand big feelings and behavioral reactions.

Taking the step to find someone to help with your child's mental health needs shows the love and care you have for your child.
It is no secret that parenting is hard. When you add your child’s mental health and/or behavioral health needs into the mix it can add another level of complexity. Children and adolescents often have difficulty managing their emotional responses, have limited communication skills, and limited coping strategies; this can impact how they engage in the world around them. I would like to help your child feel more in control and confident to take on whatever the world hands them.
