About me
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your child’s misbehaviors, are unsure of how to support your child with emotional needs, or you've been getting phone calls from school about your child's behavior, I can teach you a set of skills effective in improving child behaviors, increasing child self-esteem, compliance, and that lead to more positive child interactions with parents, siblings, and peers. My approach centers on addressing difficulties related to oppositional defiance, tantrums, aggressive behaviors, anxiety (separation/selective mutism), ADHD symptoms, and distant parent-child relationships.
I am certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and specialize in assisting parents strengthen their relationship with their child while addressing any child emotional and behavioral difficulties/needs. With older children, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift the way they think about situations and regain control of their feelings.
I invite you to look through my website and give me a call at (915) 236-1004. I would love to talk with you about the specific difficulties your family is experiencing and determine if my approach to therapy is a good fit for you!
