Parents

 

-Does your family walk on eggshells waiting for the next emotional outburst?

 

- If you had one wish would it be to have a peaceful, happy, home life?

 

- Do you stay up late at night thinking about and researching ways to help your child cope?

 

Parents don’t launch into family life expecting the challenges that can sometimes arise. You wanted to do things differently than your parents, or perhaps you had a blissful childhood and can not imagine how to deal with the problems that your family faces now. Your child did not come with a users manual. If you feel like you have exhausted all the options and nothing has worked, I can help.

 

I help families develop straightforward, user friendly behavior plans that will motivate your child or teenager to make better decisions on a day to day basis. There are no complicated sticker charts or reward systems. I like to try to get out of the office some to walk and talk and help individuals grow and process the changes we implement. I understand that your lives are complicated enough so my goal is to make this simple and intuitive. Underneath the tantrums there is a child who is carrying around a big scary Monster. Together we can motivate your child to fight off that monster and find happiness.

Students

 

- Does the stress of school leave you feeling miserable and hopeless?

 

- Do you envy other students who seem to have it so easy?

 

- Do you self medicate with coffee and energy drinks or “borrow” friends ADHD meds to get through the day then drink or smoke to quiet your mind at night?

 

Maybe you didn’t anticipate how difficult this part of your education could be. People told you it would be the best years of your life. Now you find yourself overwhelmed with work, relationship pressures, and time management is a concept you have yet to master. Maybe you are wondering, is this depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, or just normal college stress? Whatever the label, it doesn’t have to be this miserable. I can help.

 

I am committed to making school fun and engaging again. Look back at your successes with pride and the knowlege that you can take on any challenge and love it. Make memories and fully engage in this time in your life.  We will get to know your monster and discover the messages it uses to make you miserable. Then I will get to know you, and what you really want out of life. You have strengths you may not even be aware of that are well suited to taming your monster. Let’s walk and talk.
