How to Know if Parenting Therapy Might Help:
You are losing sleep over this…You just want to be a good parent!
You’ve always taken on challenges and succeeded, but you worry that you are failing at parenting such a challenging child.
Maybe having an anxious child is making YOU anxious!
Or maybe your child has become so defiant that you find yourself giving in to ridiculous demands just to keep the peace.
You would do ANYTHING to be a good parent, but they are making it so hard, as if their success is dependent on your failure.
There are times that they push you to the point of wondering if you even love them, but you quickly put that out of your mind.
________
Of course you love your child!
I am ready to help you reclaim your confidence as a parent, as well as your loving relationship with your child (whether they are 2 or 22). I will help you master effective parenting techniques for anxious children that will allow you both to succeed.
As a therapist who specializes in parenting and child therapy, I have helped hundreds of parents just like you, to break free from the cycle of worry and self-doubt, to develop healthy communication skills and positive parenting techniques, and to reclaim a joyful and loving family dyanamic.

Parenting Therapy Might Just Be the Key to the Whole Family’s Success
After 25 years of working in community children’s mental health, both in the clinic and in local schools, helping distressed children with complex emotional and behavioral challenges as well as their exhausted families, I have developed a passion for parent therapy.
The skills and strategies I teach come from this experience and are designed to help both children, who struggle with emotional and behavioral problems, and their parents achieve success.
