***I am currently not accepting new clients*** Are you the parent of a child who engages in temper tantrums, defiance, or physical or verbal aggression? Does your child struggle with emotional regulation, engaging in life skills, or have difficulties with communication? If so, I am here to help. I provide person-centered, non-judgmental parent counseling and training with the goal of improving your family’s quality of life and your relationship with your child by reducing conflict, improving your effectiveness as a parent, and increasing your child’s independence. Many people believe that behavioral approaches involve bribing their children with candy, forgoing intrinsic motivation, and lots of punishment. This could not be further from the truth. I take a culturally-sensitive, collaborative approach in order to help you make the best use of natural reinforcers and reach your goals. Being a parent is the most difficult job you will ever have. Children with and without disabilities present with unique challenges, that at times, may rise to the level of professional help. If you would like help managing your child’s behaviors, want to build on your parenting skills, or just want to make sure you are on the right track, I can help.
