Are you struggling with daily tantrums, aggression, defiance, or emotional outbursts from your preschooler? If your child has been sent home from preschool, you're receiving frequent calls from daycare, or every transition turns into a battle, you're not alone. I help parents of children ages 2–7 understand why these behaviors happen and learn practical, evidence-based strategies that create calmer days and a stronger parent-child relationship. I specialize in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), one of the most effective, evidence-based treatments for young children with challenging behaviors.
I work with parents of preschoolers navigating tantrums, ADHD, anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, aggression, and challenging behaviors at home, preschool, or daycare. Through live coaching and practical strategies, you'll gain the confidence and skills to respond effectively to your child's behavior while strengthening your connection with them.
My approach is collaborative and supportive. If parenting has become exhausting or discouraging despite trying everything you can, you don't have to figure it out alone. With the right support, meaningful change is possible. I'd be honored to help you build a calmer home and a stronger, more connected relationship with your child.
