Are you finally ready to see change within yourself or your child? I believe the biggest obstacle to change is setting too high standards, leading to disappointment and remaining in unhealthy patterns. In our sessions, I aim to point out these patterns, provide suggestions/techniques, and be a constant voice of support. Whether I am working with a child, teen, or adult I prioritize ways to make the sessions engaging and meet the client where they are on that specific day. Change rarely happens overnight but with me as your counselor, let's start celebrating our small wins. Tomorrow doesn't have to look the same.

I believe at some point in our lives most individuals will struggle with managing mental health symptoms. This could include anxiety, depression, mood regulation, psychosis, setting healthy boundaries, addiction, trauma, stress and anger management, etc. Therefore, it is normal for any individual to experience mental health symptoms. However, not all individuals cope with mental health symptoms in a healthy manner. As a LCMHC, LCASA, and NCC my goal is to assist my clients with developing healthy coping strategies by exploring negative thoughts that lead to irrational behaviors or teaching clients mindfulness techniques.

My practice is based on the premise that what we think directly affects what we feel, which in turn effects how we act. The work we do together will focus very much on this process and personal goal attainment. When helpful, you can expect to engage in some integrative and energy healing work designed to help those who struggle with verbal expression of thoughts and feelings, as well as to encourage insight and healing through a energetic means.

I can truly say that I have never met a person that has not gone through difficulties in life, and I probably never will! People experience many life changing events daily and find it hard to cope when they feel they are going through it alone! Having a strong support system to help you navigate through tough times is always a good thing to have, and I would love to be apart of that system to give that support and extra push you need.

Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists

What is the most effective treatment for oppositional defiant disorder?

The treatment of Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) will involve multiple approaches designed to help both the youngster and their parents, sometimes including medication. A therapist will help a child learn ways to regulate their emotions, curb their impulsiveness, and counteract anger, defiance, and disruption, while showing parents ways to bring these lessons into their home. A technique designed for children with conditions like ODD, known as Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS), may also be used. CPS addresses a child’s concerns and rewards appropriate responses while discouraging harsh punishment or criticism.

How does treatment for oppositional defiant disorder work?

Treatment for ODD addresses the issues underlying a child’s defiance and disruption, the emotional regulation and impulse-control skills they lack, and the way adults respond to them. ODD therapy is based on the idea that children with the disorder understand the difference between right and wrong, that they want to behave well, and that, with help, they can. By responding to the child with empathy instead of harsh criticism, ignoring nonviolent behaviors, and rewarding positive actions, a therapist, and the other adults in a child’s life, can help children improve their behavior.

How long does therapy for oppositional defiant disorder take?

Therapy for oppositional defiant disorder is not a short-term undertaking. Depending on the severity of a child’s symptoms, their age, the presence of other conditions like ADHD, anxiety or a mood disorder, and their family dynamic, it can take months before improvement is noted. The cooperation of parents and teachers is crucial, because the skills learned in therapy must be practiced in real-world situations, with all their potential triggers.

Does oppositional defiant disorder go away?

ODD can remit following treatment. ODD is often diagnosed in nursery school, and early intervention is essential for a positive prognosis. In two-thirds of children, according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, symptoms resolve within three years.
