Therapist Overview
When kids meltdown, tantrum, hit or yell, it’s often because they don’t have the coping skills to effectively manage their big emotions. Simply telling your child to “stop yelling” or “stop hitting”. And, “use your words”, contrary to popular belief, often won’t work. They don’t know what to do instead and don’t know what words to use. Often, frustration with school or friends surfaces at home, not school. I teach you and your child strategies to maintain friendships, manage worries/fears, and learn how to meet teachers’ expectations to receive praises instead of trips to the principal’s office. Frustrated and anxious teens seem “angry”- it could be school, friends, stress. It becomes YOUR fault and they argue, disobey, and roll their eyes. Sound familiar? I help your teens break down the stressors and learn ways to tackle them head on, so you can find peace in your home.
