Counseling Service

Are you going to tell me what I need to do with my kids?

You might have heard the saying “the therapist doesn’t give advice.”  This is true. I believe that you are the expert of yourself and your kids.  That is why it is much more effective and powerful when you become the decision-maker.  What I will do in counseling is to guide you to a clear understanding of your needs, goals, and plans.  I will help you find solutions and break through your emotional blocks.

What are emotional blocks?

When dealing with people you care about, sometimes it is difficult to separate your emotional reactions from the actual problem.  However, when it comes to parenting a child, it is very important to do exactly that.  Without those blocks, you can effectively use the skills to handle your child’s behavior.

School says that my child needs help; what can I do?

I have worked in private and public school settings, and can help you to understand your child’s needs.  Once we determine these needs, we can work on solutions.

I don’t know if I need counseling; can I talk to you before deciding?

Absolutely.  I can answer questions over the phone or via email.  Please feel free to contact me.  My goal is to help parents become happy parents.  I can help you, too.

Do you offer phone or email counseling?

Yes.  In addition to in-office counseling, I offer email and phone counseling to California residents.  Email counseling is only available to those I have worked with in-office or over the phone at least once.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.
