Where do your start to help your child?
It depends upon your child's needs.
Are they in need of support and new coping tools...
because they are
experiencing problems that are significantly
impacting their ability to manage their behaviors, feelings, and their self-esteem?
Most children respond to art therapy because it's often a natural way for a child to express themselves. We use art therapy and creative play to help children
manage their anger, cope with feeling of loss, depression, fear and anxiety, adjust to new situations, manage impulsive behaviors and frustrations, learn new strategies to communicate what they want and need without yelling, hitting, shutting down, tantrums or pouting.
Your child will learn how to cope with difficult situations, such as coping with with bullies, friends, siblings, relationships, curfews, peer pressure, loss, divorce, homework stress by creating new ways to solve the problems they are encountering.
If you need support for your child to make changes, and you'd like to change how the whole family responds when a problem arises (so there is less nagging, yelling, repeating, and frustration, and more peace and calm communication), then click here for information on the

Do you need some parenting support and advice...
because you are not sure if you are handling things in the best way for your child or family?
Sometimes
it is difficult to see how your responses are impacting your child, and it's helpful to have an outside option. Many parents will ask their friends or family what they think about a situation, and then they get an earful of how they "should" be handling the situation. Often you leave these conversations with well meaning loved ones feeling like you weren't heard, and feeling doubtful about your parenting abilities. Your friends and family mean no harm, they just have their own opinions and when you ask for support they will tell you exactly what
they think you should do.
Sometimes it would be nice to get some
non-judgemental feedback, and we created the parent coaching program to
help support parents who would like to heard and
receive support that reflects their values and needs. If you are looking for
parent support with
individualized strategies and tools to help your child then you’ll want to read about the Parent Coaching Program. You have access to my ‘insider’ secrets to help your child shift their behaviors- so no more second guessing on how you could handle problems when they arise. Essentially it’s like having your own doctor on ‘speed dial’.

I would like some support just for me and what’s happening in my life, do you help adults too?
Yes, I found that many of the families I work with the parents want support just for themselves. Many adults also find that things surface from your own childhood when you are trying to better support your child. There is something nice about having some time to focus just on your needs without having to think about taking care of others all the time. What many of the adults discover when they work with me 1:1 is that they became an
even better parents because they were
more clear on what they are feeling and what they need, and they learn how to communicate the support they desire from their partners and their children. You can learn more about support for adults here>>
