My treatment approach is family-oriented and my focus is on educating and empowering parents while working individually with children and teens to help them understand their behavior and find healthier ways to cope with the stresses they are facing.

We're the therapists for "kids who don't like therapy." These days - especially - teens are too often suffering and struggling in their homes and in our schools.

Together, we'll explore and better understand what's been happening, how to change patterns, and how to get better results!
