My Expert Service
|
|
You have not been alone up to this point in your life; your relationships and how you learned to relate contribute significantly to how you parent. So, you do not have to make a go of it alone when faced with concerns about your children. I approach parenting with a strong set of beliefs about what is in the best interest of our young people. At the same time, I attend to the unique characteristics and needs of each child. In addition, I have the necessary clinical knowledge to assist in understanding what may be causing the difficulties. I work with you to: understand the challenges you are experiencing with children; identify the problem; set goals; understand what may be driving the problem; explore your options in reaching your parenting goals; and form a plan of action. I will also work with you as needed while you continue putting your new decisions into practice. You cannot change the past; however you can affect the present and future with the decisions you make today. I welcome the opportunity to join with you in resolving your parenting concerns.
