Let's be honest! Parenting is tough and life goes on if you're ready or not! It would be great if life came with an instruction guide and even better if parenting included a manual. Although there is no roadmap to life or no secret sauce for parenting, there are various ways to achieve a happy life and countless opportunities to be a great parent. Life is a personal journey and therapy offers support and guidance for wherever your journey takes you. I am not here to be an expert on your life but I am here to listen and offer support whenever it's needed.

Listen — what you don’t have to worry about is finding your therapist fit, because if “we listen and don’t judge” was a person, I’m that girl.

I am not a one-size-fits-all therapist. I draw from several evidence-based approaches and use what actually fits the person sitting across from me.
Most of my work is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a model that helps people understand the different emotional patterns and protective responses that show up in daily life. That critical inner voice. The part that shuts down under stress. The anxious response that fears rejection. These patterns make sense when you understand where they came from. And once you do, things start to shift.

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.
