Parents are doing the best that they can, and they may also be searching for new ways to deal with their kids' behavior to make it less exhausting. I work with parents and the other important adults in a child's life to reduce conflict and improve the functioning of children and teens. My goal is to teach you what I know so our time together can be short and effective.
You know your child best. My training allows me to say that I am an expert in child development, learning, and behavior. Only with your help, can I provide the services that are trauma-informed. We put the pieces together to find the right solution.
I'm trained in techniques that have worked with the most "difficult" children and teens, including those with ADHD, autism, learning differences, and any other diagnosis that may lead one to believe that change is impossible.
