Child, Adolescent and Family Therapy
Nobody ever said raising children is easy. Luckily, you don't have to do it alone. It is my passion to work with families to help children and adolescents reach their potential for happy, productive and successful lives. Whether your child is having school problems, behavioral problems or emotional problems, I can help.
A doctorate degree in clinical child and school psychology as well as my varied professional experience with inpatient state hospitals, residential treatment centers and outpatient care has provided the understanding and skill that I bring to private practice. I specialize in all childhood emotional problems including:
- School problems due to ADHD, low motivation, or disorganization
- Social problems with peers
- Family change and stress
- Behavioral problems
Quick Tips
Be positive! Reward positive behavior. Rather than threatening to punish your child for negative behavior, find ways to reward the behaviors that you want to increase.
One of the most important things you can do for your children is to be consistent. Through your consistent use of rewards and scheduling your child will know what to expect and will be able to make better choices.
Take care of yourself. In order to be an effective and positive parent, it is important that you take time for yourself.
