Are you struggling to handle your child's big emotions and behaviors?.
Helping children manage big behaviors and overwhelming emotions starts with building a strong therapeutic relationship and creating a safe and nurturing environment where the kid can feel listened to and understood. Through play therapy, kids are able to express their emotions and learn how to manage them in a healthy way.

We want our children to succeed in all areas of their lives, but sometimes we find ourselves dealing with difficult behaviors, such as defiance, tantrums, and meltdowns.
Parent- Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based treatment for children ages 2-7 years old that significantly improves parent- child relationships and decreases disruptive behavior. 40+ years of clinical research supports what PCIT Therapists already know: children improve quickly, these gains are maintained over time, and these gains also happen in school settings and with siblings.

I have experience working with clients across the lifespan, but most often work with children, young adults, and their families.
Mental health is defined as the ability to love, and the ability to work; to be able to have stable and emotionally fulfilling relationships, to take care of your daily needs, and to be able to use your time creatively and productively. I offer person-centered counseling that focuses on helping clients understand their thoughts and feelings in order to change their behavior. I also specialize in Executive Function Coaching. Young people are often bright and capable, but overwhelmed by frustration, anxiety, or inattention. EFC teaches techniques to stay focused, plan ahead, get organized, make decisions, and follow through.

I have had the privilege to work in different settings that have allowed me to work with children, adolescents, and adults.
It is possible with a little bit of work to reconnect with your child and have the relationship that you want. Your child, and you, can both learn ways of communicating and coping that can once again lead to the connected family life you want both of you to have.

Finding the right therapist – one that you feel comfortable talking to – can be very overwhelming. I would like to walk you through the process and get to know you and what you are going through.
