Counseling with little to no wait: Are you a parent of a child/teen who is acting out and you are not sure what to do to help your child? Is your child getting into trouble at home, school, or even legally? You are likely here in search of someone to help you reduce or even stop these behavioral issues. Maybe these behaviors or mental health problems have caused issues within your family and you want things to return to normal? Or maybe you want your child to grow up and be a successful, healthy, and law-abiding adult? We will work as a team to meet your counseling goals and set you and your family up for success moving forward.
I have focused the majority of my career on children and adolescents struggling with behavioral issues. There is no easy fix, however, I believe I can help you make progress towards positive change. We can take this journey together and in the end, change is possible! I offer clinical mental health counseling and consultation and help you create change.
The first step is beginning the search for a counselor that fits your personality and style. I encourage you to give me a call and see if you believe we could work well together. I use humor and a more relaxed style, matched with clinical experience and knowledge to help you or your child on your path towards change. I look forward to talking with you soon.
