You don't have to go through it alone. Maybe you have worked really hard to carry the burden by yourself for so long, to figure it all out. Maybe it's time to let someone support you now.

Children experience the same emotions that adults do; however, they may not be able to verbally express those feelings. They express how they are feeling through play and art. Children communicate through their actions, and they are not able to regulate their emotions yet. This is why children and teenagers may act out to express their anger and frustration. My passion is to help children and teenagers that are hurting process their emotions and work through the hard stuff by providing a safe and warm place for them to be who they are.

No matter how much effort you put forth in your significant relationships, the message you want them to receive, seems lost in the confusion of misunderstandings. You want to love and be loved, but you continue to feel alone and sometimes devalued. What is their problem --or your's? How can you connect in healthy ways and maintain your own personal values and goals? As your mind continues to repeat memories of failed attempts to fix what has gone wrong, you don't know where to turn for real help. Everyone seems to have an answer, but no one sees the whole picture. There are times when an objective listener is the best option.

Children are affected by a number of life issues divorce, loss of a family member, or loss of a friend.
