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.

My passion is working with people who are coping with transitions and navigating changes in their life. Change, even positive change, also comes with loss.

Does your child have trouble focusing or performing in school? Are you looking for parent strategies to better support your child’s needs? Are you concerned with your child's mental health or development? As a parent/caregiver, your natural instinct is to provide support for your child, although knowing the "what" or "how" is not always clear. All behavior communicates something. Whether it is a skill deficit, learned pattern, or underlying symptom, determining what lies behind the behavior is the first step to supporting it. You bring the experience as the parent and together we will determine the "what," "why," and "how."
