I am honored to assist families in strengthening this relationship, and I love being a witness to their growth and healing.” A unique treatment plan is created for every child following an initial evaluation where history, symptomology and life stressors are reviewed.

Parents may receive parent education and training on how to provide positive nurturing, structuring, engagement and discipline for their child(ren) while managing difficult and challenging behaviors.
