I have experience in working with children struggling with ADHD, ODD, anxiety, depression, and divorce.
Are you tired of avoiding things, worrying constantly, and find that you are not enjoying your life as you once may have? I can help you to refocus on the here-and-now to reduce anxiety and depression. Change can be difficult and scary. I strive to create an environment that is safe and non-judgmental. I don’t believe that anyone wants to be in counseling forever. I will help give you or your child the necessary tools and coping skills to work through the things that are creating conflicts.

I work with clients that are struggling with: anxiety, ADHD, anger issues, ODD, depression, relationship issues and LGBTQ+ population.
I have been working in the education system for twenty years. During that time, I have learned that most children and adolescents just want to be heard. With all of the pressures and expectations put on children and adolescents today, they need a safe space to talk about what is going on in their homes, schools, neighborhoods and inside their heads.

My goal as a counselor is to provide understanding, relatability, compassion, and genuineness. There are a multitude of situations in life we do not have control over; however, there are many things in life we can control. When we arm ourselves with tools and resources to manage the things we can control in life, our mental health begins to experience the benefits of our efforts. In adulthood, we exhibit behaviors of survival that has helped us survive as an individual. Carrying wounds (abuse, neglect, abandonment, etc.) that has warped our worldview leading to cycles passed on through relationships, interactions, and generations.

Many times, young individuals are unable to verbalize their feelings. Play therapy is a gift to your child, that will aid them in communicating and exploring their inner world and emotions. Toys are used as a voice. I am also passionate about communicating with families and seeing marriages succeed. I would love to help you navigate any issue you may be facing.

You never thought that raising a child would be so difficult or overwhelming! You want to connect with your kid but feel distant and out of touch. Maybe there's a cultural gap, or maybe your teen is dealing with mental health issues that you find hard to understand or know what to do. Your strong-willed child may be challenging their school and home environments, resisting you every step of the way. Perhaps your adolescent is detached and unmotivated and you wish to help them find their spark. You may feel under-appreciated or lonely in your struggles and find yourself repeating actions you promised you would never do as a parent.

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.
