Parenting is a challenging endeavor in the most ideal of circumstances, but parenting children with learning problems, disruptive behaviors, social skills deficits, or emotional disturbance can tax even the most well-informed parent. There are many effective ways to parent children and my goal is to provide evaluation and treatment approaches that allow you to parent your child based on your own values while using the most healthy and effective strategies. For those children already in treatment, I can collaborate with the child's therapist and/or physician to provide evaluations that help to clarify diagnosis and treatment needs.
I have over fifteen years of experience in the treatment and evaluation of children and adolescents. As co-founder of Arkansas Families First, my goal is to live up to our mission statement by providing evidence-based evaluation and treatment approaches to meet the needs of your child.
At Arkansas Families First, we have available an interdisciplinary team of professionals to meet the behavioral healthcare needs of your child and family, including psychologists, licensed social workers, professional counselors, a nutritionist, and a psychiatrist. Our services include: individual, group, family , and couples therapy; psychological evaluations; school advocacy; medication management; and nutrition therapy.
