There are many different theories about how to manage unwanted behaviors in children, and how to help struggling teens. Some of these theories can leave parents with more questions than answers. You might ask yourself, "Does my child need more attention, or am I giving too much? Are my expectations of my teenager too high, or too low? If I ask for help, does that make me a good parent, or an incompetent one?” I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and their families, and I can help you find answers that fit your individual family’s needs.
