Are you tired of things being so tough with your kids? You can see that your child or teen is struggling, but you're not sure what to do to help. They may be having difficulties at school or with friends. Or it may be that things feel out of control at home. You try so hard to help things get better, but it feels like things are just stuck. Maybe you've noticed that your reactions are way bigger than you want them to be. Something happens to trigger you and you lose your temper, and then you feel so guilty. Or it seems overwhelming because you listen to so many parenting professionals, but still don't have a clear path forward.
It doesn't have to be this way! Things can get better! It's possible to have the solid connection you want with your child or teen, and have a clearer sense of how to help them through tough times. I will use play therapy with your child, offer a safe space for your teen, and support you in learning ways to manage things at home so it feels do-able again.
It can be difficult when we feel stuck and feel it's impossible to get started on the path to more peace at home. I will be with you and your family throughout this process, while providing support and encouragement. I will work with your child or teen, and also with you to feel better. There is hope for a brighter, less stressful future with your family!
