A Different Approach

Traditional behavioral methods involve rewards and punishment, time-outs, and threats. Believe it or not, there is another way - a peaceful way based on strengthening your relationship, building emotional intelligence, and increasing self-regulation.

Rather than your child meeting with a therapist an hour per week, you can learn playful strategies and tools so that your child gets the benefit of play therapy every single day of the week. 

My goal is to help you strengthen the skills you already have while providing you with new and innovative ideas that are suited to your child and family.

Some days, parenting is purely survival. But, wouldn't it be something if many days parenting felt meaningful and maybe even joyful?
