Children are faced with new challenges, some of which are unique to their generation. It can be a struggle to find the balance between parent and friend. It takes a while to work up the nerve to even have a conversation with your child, and then..they blow you off. Despite your best efforts, talking, good cop/bad cop, rewards, consequences, you just can't get through to them. The tension is getting thicker, arguing more often, and disciplining is just not working. Let's work together to help your child grow and learn through life's many challenges.

In addition to working with the children, parent engagement and training is extremely important.
Having worked for years with children and adolescents in various settings (private practices, homes, schools, hospitals), I recognize the utmost importance in helping parents identify and use a child's strengths to foster their future success. A child's strengths can be discovered through assessments and/ or therapy. I take a collaborative approach to treatment utilizing various interventions (including cognitive and behavioral interventions). For more information, visit my website at www.littlemiracleproviders.com "It's easier to find fault with what already is, than to have courage to create something new."

I see clients dealing with a wide range of relational issues: marital issues; family communication; couples at risk and post divorce co- parenting issues. Therapy sessions are geared toward finding positive, hopeful, strength based and lasting answers. I pay careful attention to personal and family history as part of an effort to identify and better define the most useful solution. My approach is systemic and interactive and my role as a therapist is to facilitate the idea that the future can be better than the present for everyone who is wrestling with problems.

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who provides remote Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services.

I work with all types of learners within and outside of neurodiverse communities. All parents deal with a range of challenges: hitting, biting, refusal, sleeping issues, eating struggles, getting your child to speak their first word. You are not alone. I believe I can help you shape behavior and ease some of the frustration.

I will help you create the relationship you desire, even if your current relationship is "not working" for you - and even if the patterns of anger, hurt, and resentment have been in place for long periods of time. I have seen relationships transform even when things seem hopeless! I can help you bring back balance and harmony into all your relationships: romantic, marriage, family, parent /child, business. What my clients have found is that, as balance in relationship is healed and restored, this new "way of living" completely transforms many aspects of their lives, including their material wealth and abundance.

I have helped my clients with anxiety, depression, anger, parenting issues and relationships.
Peace. Happiness. Love. Success. We seek them. We want them. As we see them within reach, we are knocked down by the challenges and difficulties of life. We find, instead, lives that are filled with anxiety, sadness, grief, trauma, loss and failure. I know this too well. I have experienced this in my own life and in the life of my clients. It does not matter where you are in your life. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds to help them navigate the troubled waters of life.

I have extensive training in treatment of issues of familyfunctioning, parent -child attachment, parenting issues, divorce, and relationships.
My goal is to listen to each client, hear the person's wants and needs, and support growth towards an increased state of self-awareness, life satisfaction, and relationship fulfillment. Despite the serious nature of issues discussed, my clients and I often find ourselves laughing together. I specialize in treatment/ assessment of psychological disorders in preschool/ school-aged children, adolescents, and adults. My focus on children helps me understand psychological underpinnings in adults I treat. I provide play therapy with children/families; group/individual psychotherapy with adolescents and adults; and I work extensively with individuals and couples presenting with a range of relationship/ sexual issues.

You probably didn't plan for a divorce when you chose to get married, move in together, and decide to have babies with your significant other. Dealing with family conflict and sudden loss or significant change can be a very disheartening and lonely road. Or maybe you are post-divorce and feeling lost being a single parent and would just like to change your family interactions, forgive yourself, and figure out some reasonable boundaries with others. Perhaps you feel broken, wish things were different, and replaying all those awkward moments over and over whilst trying to fall asleep. "If only I was....,I would be ok"?

I specialize in treating anxiety and depressive disorders, relationship issues, men's issues, and family & parenting issues.
I feel very strongly that the therapeutic relationship is critical in helping clients work through their issues. However, it is also the therapist's style and ability, working collaboratively with clients, to identify these difficulties and plan a course of care in a safe and confidential environment that is equally essential. I have over 25 years experience working with adults, adolescents, couples and families.

I work with people who have gone through the same things I've gone through - divorce, remarriage, blended family & parenting struggles, grief & loss due to death and suicide, and loving & care taking of someone with a severe mental illness and/or chronic illness. Let's face it, finding a therapist is hard. You're feeling overwhelmed already and now you've got a list of people with letters after their names and little pictures. You look at the picture and wonder if that person is someone you can talk to. I've been there & it stinks! You deserve to have someone listen, someone to connect to, someone who understands your struggles.

Parenting Therapists

What does therapy for parenting look like?

Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?

When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?

Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?

Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
