Helping Parents Navigate Challenging Behaviors with Confidence
Does your child struggle with big emotions, constant power struggles, school refusal, or impulsivity? Maybe they melt down over small things, refuse to follow directions, or seem anxious but can’t express why. You may have tried everything; consequences, rewards, reasoning, but nothing seems to work.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many of the parents I work with feel exhausted, frustrated, and unsure how to support their child. Whether your child has been diagnosed with ADHD or anxiety, or you're simply trying to understand their behaviors, I’m here to help you find practical, sustainable solutions.
Professional Background
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist in California specializing in behavioral challenges, emotional regulation, and parent-child relationships. My approach is informed by Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), positive discipline strategies, and mindfulness techniques to help parents create more peaceful, connected relationships with their children. I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach, helping parents shift their strategies so their child feels supported while learning self-regulation skills.
