Your once happy-go-lucky kid, now just seems sad and anxious all the time. It can feel devastating as a parent; maybe you feel helpless for not knowing what to do to help or you feel like you are failing as a parent. Your child seem like they are always scared and nervous; they are having trouble sleeping; or they seem irritable and are having more tantrums. Whatever the symptom, it is hard to see your typically happy, friendly little one seeming to be sad or angry all the time. You want to see that smile again.

Are you a concerned parent looking for help for your child? Is your child "not feeling like themselves" these days as they isolate themselves inside of their bedrooms or wake up in the middle of the night screaming? First off, your concern is completely valid as mental health, much like life, is always changing. Although some changes can be positive, they can also be negative as well. This is where I come in.

Some reasons to consider psychotherapy for your child or family member include: sudden changes in behavior, increased moodiness, an increase in temper tantrums, difficulty getting along with friends, physical or sexual abuse, loss of a loved one, divorce, excessive crying or sadness, increased worrying, aggression, questions about sexuality, self-injurious behavior or thoughts of suicide, trauma, illness, and anger. Parents and caregivers know their child best. If you think something is off, then seek a consultation. I will listen intently and conduct a detailed interview to determine if services are appropriate. If they are, then together we will set goals and develop a treatment plan.
