Struggling with the family experience? That’s ok! Struggling isn’t bad, although very difficult and discouraging. You are not alone in feeling the overwhelm of parenting children and teens with dysregulated emotions and behaviors. Many parents get lost in school and treatment systems that attempt to address only the child, but might leave parents in the dark or feeling lost about how to manage thier children at home. I focus on equipping parents to become the most effective part of their child’s treatment. Come do the work to support and guide your child towards healthy behaviors and healthy emotional expression.
From ADHD to zombies, from social anxiety to social media, our young ones are often overwhelmed. They need better information about thier emotions and behaviors than what they see online or hear from peers. Counseling and psychoeducation can make all the difference.
How you parent greatly affects your children. Most parents are subconsciously bringing in their own childhood wounds and fears. Parental Counseling helps you as a parent gain support, relief, and the skills you need to deal with your own behaviors and emotions and to better manage your children’s behaviors and mental health, too.
Get your family on the same page with your family goals and relationships!
Your behavior affects others, and their behavior affects you. It helps to have someone assist each member to be understood and challenged. Family Therapy helps all members get on the same page with both kindness and firmness.
Whether you have a specific diagnosis or not, you might be struggling to understand your mental health.
I’m here to help you look at yourself and your life to sort through the mental, emotional, behavioral, relational, and spiritual struggles and help equip you to respond to them in healthy ways.
Are you struggling to work through reactivity, defensiveness, and wounds with family members or relationships? Have you been struggling to work through dysfunctional patterns from your parents, family, and your own fears of being hurt? While your own past is connected to every part of how you approach the world today, you are not stuck there. Come work through dysfunctional patterns in your individual life or family system.
For those working through past trauma, I utilize both psychotherapy and the NeuroEmotional Technique, which taps into unresolved issues to help release trapped stress and process stored trauma.
