Every child shapes their own development, influenced by the sociocultural context. Genetic differences, variations in parenting styles, diverse reactions, and differing environments are reasons why children can differ significantly from one another, despite growing up in the same families, attending the same classrooms, and living in the same neighborhoods. You may find yourself worrying about your child's growth, learning, and development, especially if it diverges from that of other children in their age group. Perhaps your child frequently appears sad, angry, anxious, or lonely, prompting concerns. You might also face challenges where the environment does not accept your child's behavior, with teachers or caregivers indicating difficulties and suggesting seeking help. It's possible that you've always noticed your child being 'different,' and now you feel it's time to explore why. Your child may have experienced changes beyond their control, such as relocating, the loss of a family member, or divorce, which can profoundly affect their behavior.
Therapy
I offer child and adolescent therapy and counseling to children from age 4-18 and
their parents. The aim is to work on core qualities
such as psychological resilience, individual personal development, autonomy, surrounding control
and self acceptance.

Parents
Parenting means giving your children care, love, attention, safety and appreciation.
Raising a child also involves guiding them toward adulthood, where they can fulfill life tasks and understand societal expectations while contributing positively to society.
