Children, Adolescents & School Advocacy

Is your child having problems managing their emotions effectively? Children and adolescents sometimes need a person to talk to about their concerns, and problem solve issues they may be having.

I help children deal with their emotions, which can help their progress at school or relationships at home. They can learn positive coping strategies to face their concerns and see progress by using skills taught in counseling sessions. I make parents part of their treatment and give tips on how to help during times of stress.

If your child has been recommended for a 504 plan/IEP or you would like to explore requesting one, I’ll help you with the process and am available to work with the school on your behalf.

Helping Couples Come Together

Relationships bring many positive things to our lives – companionship, love and someone who shares our goals and beliefs. But, over time, as we really get to know each other, problems can develop even in the healthiest relationships. Our lives can get busy and those relationships can be taken for granted. It takes commitment on the part of both partners to make a marriage work and many things can get in the way of having a fulfilling relationship.

At Nelson Family Counseling, I help you develop ways to re-invigorate your relationship and focus on your shared goals. In addition, I help you learn to communicate better and to solve problems more efficiently.

Contact me for help dealing with any of these issues, which many couples face:

  • Communication Problems
  • Money
  • Intimacy
  • Infidelity
  • Technology interfering with your relationship
  • LGBTQ+
  • Autism
  • Adhd

Are you having issues at home with your family?

I can discuss a variety of things such as parenting, healthy boundaries, and ways to communicate with each other as a family unit to help your family function better.

Sometimes it’s good to get someone to look at what is going on with your family so you can make a plan to change things so they can go smoother for you. I can help your family to develop positive coping strategies so you can feel like conflict is dealt with in a healthy way.
