Do you find yourself in constant battles and power struggles with your child who is defiant and oppositional, disrespectful or even aggressive?  Have your reached your limit in dealing with the stress and chaos of your child's defiant behavior on family life? Is it time to work smart and not hard to make a difference in your child's behavior?  I have over 35 years experience as a licensed clinical psychologist working directly with parents of young children and adolescents who display oppositional and defiant behaviors.  I have had great success in helping parents learn and apply effective parenting strategies that are easy and fun to implement.

 

These parenting strategies are individually designed to empower parents while improving all aspects of your child's functioning at home, in school and in the community.  Our sessions will focus on strengthening the parent-child relationship, reducing power struggles and increasing your child's positive behaviors, self-esteem and motivation to succeed.  In fact, there is silver lining in the cloud for children who are oppositional and defiant.  They are extremely determined, and determination is a great personal qualitity. You can help your child learn to use that determination in positive and productive ways.

 

My therapeutic approach employs evidenced based techniques that can successfully be applied with children who have behavioral, emotional, learning, ADHD or developmental difficulties.  Please feel free to contact me at any time via e-mail or by phone if you have any questions or would like to make an appointment.
