CHILDHOOD BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS

I’ve worked with children and families for over 15 years, and in my therapy practice I help children with behavioral issues by providing parenting psychoeducation and parent skills training.

How I CAN Help

We will meet to discuss your concerns about your child (as well as their strengths) and determine whether parenting therapy is appropriate. My approach to therapy integrates Parent Management Training, DBT for Families, cognitive behavior therapy, and SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions).

I help parents:

• Understand how child, parent, and environment factors all contribute to challenging behaviors

• Use the power of positive reinforcement to improve child behavior

• Take the intensity out of tantrums and difficult moments - or avoid them altogether

• Reduce parenting stress, burnout, and hopelessness

• Build consistency and confidence in their parenting approach
