How do I help my adolescent with their school problems? How can we reduce our conflicts at home? Behavior problems often arise for smart, sensitive children who struggle to recognize their own intelligence, strengths, and specific learning style. Are you are hoping to help your child build their confidence, self-regulation and advocacy skills? I can partner with them, and with you, to help them increase motivation and self-esteem and overcome behavior challenges. I specialize in multicultural families, and am LGBTQIA+ affirming. Since completing three degrees at UC Berkeley, I've spent a decade as a therapist and supervising other therapists. Together we'll draft a new story for your family that celebrates and builds on your strengths. We'll go to the root of school-based and family challenges, quell negative thought patterns, and practice effective communication and coping skills. I offer a free 15-minute consult call where you can share some of your challenges with me and we can start talking about how we would tackle them. I will listen and provide suggestions to help you identify next steps for this healing journey that you're undertaking. You don't have to struggle with this alone- let's get your family to a better place.
