Family in crisis? Everyone in the family is impacted by the stressful environment when children refuse to follow directions and develop behaviors such as verbal aggression (disrespectful communication, degrading comments, verbally threaten others), emotional outbursts (yelling, temper tantrums), physical aggression toward self (i.e., cutting and/or burning self) or others (pushing and/or hitting others, destroying property), suicidal ideation (threat to self) and/or homicidal ideation (threat to others), and/or running away (AWOL). As a result of feelings of sadness and anger, children and parents often engage in power struggles.
My area of expertise is individual therapy with children and adolescents who exhibit severe behaviors such as verbal and physical aggression, property destruction, resistance to authority (oppositional/defiant behaviors), self-injurious behaviors, and AWOL. I also work with the entire family (i.e., parental coaching) as part of the family therapy process.
Parenting can be challenging. Crisis situations such as a divorce may cause a significant disruption of family life. Children may develop undesirable behaviors that are difficult to cope with. I'm here to help you. During our initial consultation, I will assess your situation and provide resources that will meet the need of your child and family.
