When I am working with teens who struggle with anxiety, depression and s*xual compulsion I always hear parents say, “I’m not good at being empathetic.” My response is usually, “I know.” The reality is that no one is really “good” at demonstrating empathy in the beginning. We aren’t trained to be empathetic as parents and neither were our parents or their parents. Becoming empathetic requires practice and becoming empathetic as a parent is one of the best things we can do for our children who are struggling with mental health.

Have a teen that is struggling and want to learn how to retrain your brain and become part of the solution as a parent? Want to have a better and deeper connection with your teenager? Within four sessions I can help provide you and your teenager with the tools and training necessary to achieve both.

Counseling is a way for individuals, couples, families and groups to find their healthy state in life. One of the best ways to uncover and implement our healthy lifestyle is through the therapeutic process.

I encourage couples to strive for the “good enough” relationship.

Good short video to watch from Brene Brown. How blaming impacts us.

You are probably a bit of a blamer - most of us are. But why should we give it up? In this witty sequel to our most watched RSA Short, inspirational thinker ...

The person who is the least controlling is often the happiest.
