I blend behavior analysis with mental health support to build practical skills, strengthen emotional awareness, and create routines that fit real life - without shame or judgment.
Life can feel especially overwhelming when you or your child are navigating the world with a neurodivergent brain. Autism, ADHD, or both (AuDHD) can bring incredible strengths, but they can also come with big emotions, burnout, shutdowns, anxiety, or behaviors that feel hard to manage. None of this means you or your child need to be “fixed.” Instead, it’s about understanding how the brain works, building tools that actually help, and finding support that doesn’t make you feel broken.

I am able to help with various mood impairments, behavioral concerns, and specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma.
I love dogs, have tattoos, and cuss a little. I like to think I have a good sense of humor and incorporate that when appropriate. That's me in a nutshell! We know one of the biggest factors to therapeutic success is having good rapport between client and clinician. Therapy is not 'one size fits all' and it can be frustrating and overwhelming to find that right fit. When you're asked to face some of your hardest truths, it is paramount to build a therapeutic relationship you feel comfortable with.

Are you reliving past trauma or experiencing depression, anxiety, distress, or a general sense of feeling stuck? For over twenty-five years, I have specialized in helping clients with these as well as other life-interfering conditions. In today’s world, one can become easily overwhelmed, practice unhealthy coping skills, and develop a negative view of oneself and others. Often, we lose sight of the fact that there is a solution.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.

What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.

How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.

How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
