Your kid is lying. Or shutting down. Or blowing up over nothing. Or doing the same thing over and over no matter how many times you address it. And you’re starting to wonder if something is actually wrong — or if you’re doing something wrong. Most of the time, the answer is neither. Most of the time, what looks like a behavior problem is a developmental question nobody thought to ask. If you’re the kind of parent who wants to understand what’s actually happening before deciding how to respond, that’s exactly the work we do here.
I look at behavior through a developmental lens first. What’s normal for this age? What’s a signal? What’s your child trying to solve — and why isn’t it working? We build your understanding and your toolkit at the same time. Less reacting, more responding. That’s the shift we’re after.
You don’t need to keep guessing. You need a clearer picture of what’s actually going on — developmentally, relationally, and in your home specifically. That picture is buildable. Reach out, schedule a consultation, and let’s start putting it together.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My degree is fortified by years of prior experience in numerous behavioral programs for children with intense behaviors, who often came from families with childhood and generational trauma. Even before my degree, I was helping to stabilize kids and families. I know I can help you too.

I help parents navigate challenging child and teen behaviors while addressing how unresolved childhood trauma may impact their responses.

The most effective treatment I use is building relationships with my clients. I do a lot of history-taking to develop a timeline of life events, then I teach about psychosocial developmental stages and the way the brain holds on to memories. I follow a TF-CBT plan for many clients, reality therapy, and other methods to reacquaint clients with objective truth.
