Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or mood swings? Perhaps you're managing bipolar disorder, experiencing psychotic symptoms (with support from a medication prescriber), or facing challenges in your relationships. You may feel disconnected, lost, or uncertain about the future. Your goal is to find stability, build emotional resilience, and cultivate healthier relationships, but you're not sure where to start.

I provide services to clients seeking psychological evaluations. Evaluations are commonly sought for concerns, such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Specific Learning Disorders, and OCD, to name a few. Some clients who are experiencing Gender Dysphoria also seek evaluations to support medical transition services. There has been confusion with my separate employment at Optum, where I do provide counseling. This is entirely separate from my private practice. No counseling services are offered in my private practice and I cannot communicate about Optum clients via my private practice. Optum clients should call 425-339-5453 for help.

Mental health challenges are more than a diagnosis. From neurochemical imbalances such as ADHD to emotional disturbances like major depression, the symptoms and impact differ for each person. Larger issues such as life direction, personal ethics, and the family expectations we grew up with all result in different responses to overwhelming emotions and situations. Your mental health journey should be a collaborative experience that rises to meet your needs and supports you through your challenges. I am here to help you find your path and walk with you, even if you aren't yet sure where you are traveling.

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.
