Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in City of the Village of Clarkston, MI

I have been working in the education system for twenty years. During that time, I have learned that most children and adolescents just want to be heard. With all of the pressures and expectations put on children and adolescents today, they need a safe space to talk about what is going on in their homes, schools, neighborhoods and inside their heads.

I provide active treatment that yields quick results, in a supportive and comfortable environment. I have extensive skills in working with children and families experiencing crises and/or behavioral difficulties. My experience includes a significant background of working with childhood diagnoses of: autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities/cognitive impairment, ADD/ADHD, oppositional defiance disorder, and suicidal behavior.
