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.

Comfort in knowing that we receive support when facing challenges in our lives is a leap of courage in addressing the issues, needs and desired goals you'd like to overcome. There are many stigmas, unrealistic expectations and past history experiences that foster the anxiety, shame, discomfort, self-blame, or whatever negative feelings that you may be experiencing that we can work on addressing together. Time with me will be fostered in a caring manner with honesty, respect, dignity and integrity.
