My specialty is working with parents who have a child or teen with challenging behaviors. I do parent coaching and family therapy (not individual therapy with kids).
I have 40 years of clinical experience supporting over a thousand neurodivergent children and their families. I am the developer of Intensive Family-Focused Therapy, a proven treatment for serious childhood mental challenges. This is my parent coaching page where I teach you many of the evidence-based IFFT strategies and interventions.
Families can benefit from a tighter, focused approach using parent coaching—offering strategies that are practical and actually work.
Parent coaching helps you:
• Foster consistent, respectful communication that reduces daily conflicts
• Support your child's regulation of strong negative emotions and reduce or ideally eliminate tantrums and emotion dysregulation
• Encourage cooperation and collaboration, even for highly oppositional or demand-avoidant kids.
It also helps: Children and teens who are school-avoidant return to school successfully
• End power struggles around homework, chores, and routines
• Strengthen kindness toward siblings and improve overall family communication
• Rebuild connection and emotional attachment within your family. I would love to help your family!
