Are you noticing that your child or teen is struggling? Do they seem angry, anxious, withdrawn, stressed? Common issues such as academic struggles, peer relationships, family conflict, transitioning and changes, can cause rifts and tensions. I can help your child or teen develop healthier habits and coping mechanisms and feel more confident and connected. Whether your teen feels misunderstood or our kiddo seems out of sorts, together we can figure out how to deal with the events. I'd love to help them gain emotional resilience and help you tell the difference between expected reactions and the point when you need to step in.
