Children and adults can experience distress and numbing.
Would you rather experience emotional distress or emotional numbing? Does it have to be an either/or answer? Instead of deciding on an answer, why not start developing insight into the root cause for both?

Waitlist for new clients
In addition to individual (child and adult) and family counseling, I also provide Psycho-educational testing for Autism, Early-onset Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Learning Disabilities and more.
I have worked with children with significant behavioral concerns and their families for over 10 years. As a mother of children with significant behavioral concerns, I know how hard it can be to live with the judgment of others about your parenting and the internal struggle to help your child navigate their world successfully. I can help you find the right approach that doesn't take up all of your time and energy to implement. I specialize in working with parents to decrease problem behaviors and increase more prosocial ones. I will also work with your child to build skills in coping with frustration and the word "no".

My skill-set and experience ranges from working with at risk youth, substance use and their families, children-teenagers, veterans and finding support for those facing end of life concerns.
Dark thunderstorms are hard to see out of. Especially, when you feel you are alone or worse is feeling lost. When finding your way back to you, adversity does not have to be limiting; it is a resource. Being ready for something different or for things to change is very scary. Except look at all the pain you have already been through. That alone has prepared you for what is next. It is humble to ask for help and although this can feel uneasy just know that you are stretching yourself and that is what gets you results. This work to me is sacred, and if ready then I am grateful to be HEAR for you.
