Is your child a blackbelt in avoiding responsibility, arguing their way out of any disagreement, or spending more time doing what they want to rather than what you’ve asked them to over and over again? If only they’d sit still and finally listen. When it comes to child who have mastered these ancient arts however, such an approach rarely seems to work. Finding ways to help young people that isn’t perceived as scolding, lecturing, or punishing is my focus, and teaching them how to make peace with their inner world is my goal.
Through client-directed activities, creative projects, shared humor, the emerging therapeutic relationship - and of course, some talking too, I find ways to introduce, model and reinforce the exact skills they’ve been so adept in avoiding thus far.
I recognize picking up the phone can be an intimidating step to take - especially when there is so much at stake. Nonetheless, it often gets worse before it gets better and addressing these issues now can save precious time in the long run. What I can promise is that I am eager to learn of your situation, and honored to be in a position to help.
