Children who have problems managing and regulating their behavior can be tough for a frustrated and exhausted parent to deal with. Their behavior can begin to disrupt family functioning and put a strain on family relationships. Working to address these behavioral difficulties in young children begins with providing education and support for the parents. Parent support includes providing skills to help reshape behavior and learn how to readjust family interactions in a more positive way.

Working with young children as they enter adolescence can be frightening thing to for parents to endure. Sometimes young people believe they are wiser than they actually are and make poor choices. If you're frustrated with your child and would like some skills to help you positive role modeling and maintain your sanity please reach out. Some young people have endured things that they never should have. I can help provide stability to a young one needing trauma treatment through Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I've delivered help to others with this therapy and seen amazing results!

A parent is only as happy as their saddest child. It is extremely painful to watch our children suffer and be at a loss of what is going on or how to help them. I am a certified Play Therapist and work with children ages 2 and up. When a child is acting out that is a sign that something is wrong in their world. Play Therapy is the preferred form of therapy for children under the age of ten and it is highly effective for children suffering from abuse, neglect, bullying, low self esteem, divorce etc. Play was a child's first language and we use play in session to gain insight into what is going on in a child's world when they don't have the ability to put words to it themselves.
