You want a therapist that can connect with your child and help them function and feel better. You want a therapist that will listen and see you for who you are: a caring and loving parent that is trying their best.

Feeling scared? Worried about this pandemic? Is homeschooling your child feeling overwhelming? Are you wondering if your response or your child's response to everything is normal? During this pandemic, many people are finding that the ways that they have coped with stress in the past are not helping as well as it has before.
