Are you struggling getting the help that your child needs? Does it seem like no one understands and you want to pull your hair out? Accessing help is not always easy. You feel like you are jumping through hoops and waiting months to get an appointment. Meanwhile, you are having sleepless nights and worrying about your child. You cry because you know your child is hurting and you don’t know how to make it better. The experience of trauma can have a significant impact on a child’s mental, emotional, and behavioral health, and lead to very challenging situations for families to deal with. Some therapists don’t know what to do when children are struggling with trauma related symptoms, especially if they are hurting themselves or others. For over 16 years I focused my career on working with children who have experienced abuse, neglect, and exposure to violence. I believe that there is no problem too big for us to tackle when we work together. Honesty, consistency, trust, and partnership are the foundations of my work with families. I use best-practices to help children maintain safety and heal from past trauma. The journey to healing is not always smooth, but I will partner with you on the bumpy road to help you help your child. I hope to hear from you for a free phone consultation.
