I work to empower you, the parents/caregivers, to help your child increase their understanding of their own emotions, restore collaboration between you and your child in the areas of age-appropriate limits and boundary setting, as well as to increase your child’s healthy self-efficiency.
Parenting is challenging, almost by definition. When it becomes overwhelming to the point of creating a crisis in the home or school, it is time to seek help. If your child is chronically oppositional, hyperaggressive, fraught with roller-coaster emotions, or at the other extreme, crippled by anxiety, very poor self-image, or depression, I can work with you to reduce these issues and help restore more harmony between you and your child when such power struggles interfere with family peace. I work with these child-family issues, as well as autism spectrum disorder, problematic school behaviors, serious sibling conflicts, and more.
