Welcome!  I'm happy you are here!  Obviously, your child means the world to you and it hurts when they are unhappy.   Everyone in the family feels the pain when a child suffers.  A child doesn't know what is "normal" so their emotions and behaviors show us where they are at.

 

Today, parenting is challenging enough and even more so when your child is miserable, acting out or withdrawn.  As intimidating as it may feel, it's important to seek help from a counselor when you are feeling overwhelmed and unable to help your child's circumstances change.  Childhood and Adolescent stages are radical and critical times to harness their developmental energies.  We can offer you multidisciplinary options towards support and healing.  Your child(ren) is living a more demanding lifestyle than those of previous generations.   They need our help and modeling to reach a new balance.

 

Old proverbs have stated it best...

 

                                        "In the multitude of counsel there is wisdom."  

 

Another says, "It takes a whole village to raise a child."

 

As a Mother (35 years) and a Grandmother (of 11 years), I know the feeling and intensity that an unhappy child expresses and the pain in a parent's heart.  Through years of educational training and experience, I am able to offer a very real and genuine approach.   I teach skills, awareness, relationship importance, boundaries, trust, creativity, and a mind-body-spririt approach to finding the path to your child's wellness and optimal life.   We offer will find a safe and comforting approach that supports you, your child and family.
