I have particular experience working with anger, oppositional teenagers, conduct behaviors as well as narcissistic traits in males.
I offer a supportive, encouraging and pragmatic approach, and will partner with you to help you understand how and why you were designed to heal and overcome everything from severe childhood trauma to the everyday struggles of parenting, marriage and interpersonal relationships. Once the how and why are established, then we move on to helping you actively create new patterns in your life that will lead you, and often others connected to you, on the path to becoming everything you and they are meant to be.

As we go through life, more often than not, we face hardship and discomfort that can leave us feeling dull and alone. In these times, warmth and support can be so healing. A therapeutic alliance is a bond like no other, that has healing qualities for times of darkness and stress. Whether you are dealing with anxiety or depression, unable to cope with your anger, or going through a life transition, the therapeutic relationship is the foundation to get back to the authentic you.

Is your child struggling to control their emotions or reactions? Has their behavior changed and you’re not sure why? Maybe their grades have dropped; you've started getting calls from the school; they may have withdrawn into themselves, or begun lashing out at others. While children and teens are incredibly resilient, even under the best of circumstances, they may need support from someone outside of the family in order to recover from a major change, or unlock their full potential & thrive. That is where therapy comes in, and I would love to be the one to help.

Does talking about your feelings sounds as fun as having a root canal? Have you been told by someone you need to get help but fear opening Pandora’s box because you aren’t sure what will spill out?

All you wanted was a simple divorce. Instead, it's devolved into a divorce driven by hate from your Ex. Suddenly it's clear that they had no intention of striving for an "amicable" experience for you or your kids. The person you married is playing a purely “win-lose” defensive game of "win at all" costs because you've ceased to be of any use. Consequently, every topic is a “big deal” to be fought over. You may be facing increasing amounts of useless motions filed to further increase animosity. You’ve reached the point where you have no idea how to navigate it. I am here to step in and help you end that chaos and restore control.

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.
