Have you tried everything you can think of to resolve the problem that has brought you to my web site? Is this problem interfering in your relationship with your child? It is interfering in your relationship with your partner? Does it make you feel like a failure as a parent sometimes?

Everyone gets tripped by problems now and then. But once problems take up residence in your home, they can get people to fight, ruin fun times, and leave people feeling pretty helpless. Often parents take a lot of responsibility and feel guilty that they are doing something wrong and, at the same time, they feel frustrated with their children for letting the problem affect the family.

I can help your gang up on the problem so that you can enjoy your relationships AND show the problem the door!

Problems want people to take them very seriously. Even serious problems can be resolved playfully and creatively- after all, children are playful and creative! Most children I know do not enjoy sitting around with adults discussing their problem behavior, so I work in ways that are fun and empowering instead of boring and shaming.

Many people come to me for help getting through small problems like temper tantrums, school anxiety, problems just getting along with others, problems with transitions, and worries or fears. I also have helped families get their lives back from more stubborn problems like selective mutism, encopresis, anxiety and ADHD.
