Whether clients are facing new stressors that impact their mood, relationships or behavior or they're struggling with long-standing concerns from childhood development, their family history or traumatic loss, I understand the isolation these challenges can bring and the difficulty that comes with processing and adjustment. For you and your relationships or for your child and family, beginning the journey toward change can be hard and overwhelming. Through a warm and collaborative approach, my work is focused on supporting clients as they begin and continue on their journey to develop new ways of thinking, feeling and relating.

Adolescence is possibly one of the most difficult times in one's personal development. But with caring support from family and friends, and in conjunction with therapy, adolescents can achieve greater self-confidence and resilience. Positive changes occur when a client and therapist work in concert to find new perspectives that lead to better paths. Through a better understanding of individual struggles and environmental factors, we develop tools for success that enables clients to become the best version of themselves. My practice is a judgment free, calm and quiet environment for clients to manage their concerns and challenges.

Simply trying to make a way through life can make us feel anxious or depressed, or turn to old habits which have not been helpful for us. Avoiding our reality, pretending it doesn't exist, or trying to change that part of reality which is outside of our control most often ends up adding more to the problem. While everyone finds a different way to manage this experience, there are some common threads which sew together resilient responses and those which reinforce unhelpful responses. A meaningful and purposeful understanding of both the problem and the solution patterns is vital to living an enjoyable life.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
