I work with children and adolescents with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and oppositional defiant/ behavioral issues.
We can have difficulties after experiencing a traumatic event. At times, we can feel numb, anxious, depressed or unable to regulate our emotions while navigating through life. For parents, it can be overwhelming for children dealing with behavioral issues and/or emotional problems. You are not alone! Here at Helping Hands, clients experience trauma healing through the word of God. I empower my clients by navigating them through their past traumas and help my clients identify how these traumas are still showing up in their life. During this process, I guide my clients to receive healing through Christ Jesus.

I work with children and adolescents with a wide array of developmental disabilities and disorders, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and other neurological conditions.
I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who began my career volunteering in the Child Life department at Miami Children's Hospital, in 2007. It was there that I first developed a passion for helping children. I later discovered the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and loved that I could make a difference in the lives of others through the application of science. I provide ABA therapy where the behaviors are most likely to occur: in the home, at school, and in the community.

Adolescence can be a difficult for children AND parents! You may find yourself feeling like you are living with a complete stranger or that you aren't able to see eye to eye no matter what you try. Your child may have difficulties with authority figures or experiencing problems at school, mood swings, anxiety, anger, or even sadness. Chances are that you're getting advice on how to "handle" your child from friends and family and still no results. You probably feel overwhelmed and confused, you may even ask yourself where you may have gone wrong.

For t oddlers and preschoolers, I work directly with caregivers to teach and/or coach them in helpful parenting strategies to reduce tantrums, avoidance, and problematic reassurance-seeking.
Does your child frequently seek reassurance that everything is going to be fine? Do they fear public speaking or meeting new people? Do they have difficulty getting going, completing school work, seeing friends? Is your child bothered by unwanted thoughts that make him/her fearful, anxious, ashamed, or guilty? Do these thoughts make them wash their hands excessively, check, confess, or doubt? Is your child or t oddler having excessive and unmanageable tantrums? Do they frequently break rules or defy you? Is it feeling hard to manage their behavior at home or elsewhere?

You may have been stuck many times in your life: in boring jobs, disrespectful bosses, ungrateful friends/family, in sick relationships, in your own lack of confidence, in concerns about your appearance, your intelligence, your body... feeling trapped, desperate, weak, confused. You've got used to it, it becomes routine. You may yearn for happiness and fulfillment, but you don't know how to get rid of that feeling, the guilt, the shame. Or maybe, sometimes you don't even realize that you're stuck at all, you just know that you've lost yourself. You may feel that you are too much, and at the same time, not enough.

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.
