Imagine feeling sad, lonely, frustrated, or scared. Now imagine you don't have the words to express what's going on inside of you, and it feels like you can't tell anyone what's going on anyway. Maybe someone you love is being hurt or hurting you. Maybe kids at school are intimidating or ridiculing you. Maybe someone touched you in a way that was not OK with you, but you don't know how to stop it. Maybe your parents are getting divorced and it's like a living hell for you. What do you think you'd do? - Withdraw?
- Cry or mope alot?
- Get nervous around people?
- Get into fights?
- Stop doing school work?
- Hide out in video games and books?
- Pick on younger kids so you can feel bigger or better about yourself?
- Refuse to go to school?
- Get stomach aches, headaches, diarrhea, or nausea?
- Turn to drugs or alcohol to ease the pain?
These are all things that I have helped kids cope with, and I'd be happy to talk to you about how we can help the young people in your life have happier, healthier lives. We need to help and protect our children and give them a shot at the best life possible. Sometimes when we get frustrated or don't know what to do as parents or caretakers, we need to turn to professionals for help. There's nothing wrong with that. Our goals are to get kids back to being themselves and being successful in their lives, in all areas of life

I make an effort to answer the phone personally as often as possible. This includes evenings and weekends, since crises don't follow a schedule. If I'm not available right away I will get back to you shortly.
