Parenting &
Challenging Child Behaviors

Evidence-based parent training and child therapy to reduce challenging behaviors, build practical parenting skills, and strengthen relationships at home.

You're feeling overwhelmed by daily tantrums, meltdowns, or power struggles

You're in the Right Place If...

Your child struggles with listening, transitions, or following rules

You're concerned about ADHD, anxiety, oppositional behavior, or mood.

You're navigating challenges at school, with friendships, or social skills

You want to strengthen your connection and enjoy your child more

You want practical strategies that actually work in your real life

Common Challenges

How Therapy Can Help

  • Frequent tantrums or meltdowns
  • Defiance, noncompliance, or backtalk
  • Difficulty with transitions and routines
  • Sibling conflict and jealousy
  • Anxiety, worries, or school avoidance
  • Impulsivity, inattention, or high energy
  • Big emotions that feel hard to manage

These challenges are not a reflection of who your child is. With the right tools and support, meaningful change is possible.

Working solely with parents,
therapy can help with:

Reducing challenging behaviors

Teaching parent emotion regulation and coping skills

Improving communication and cooperation

Building parent confidence and self-efficacy

Strengthening your parent-child relationship

Creating routines and boundaries that work

Support that's evidence-based, compassionate, and tailored to you and your journey.

MY APPROACH

I provide evidence-based parent training and child behavior therapy in Scottsdale, Arizona. My approach draws from Behavioral Parent Training (BPT), also called Parent Management Training (PMT), and other research-backed behavioral strategies tailored to your child's unique needs and your family's values.

Have a Child With ADHD? Start Here.

Behavioral Parent Training is one of the most well-established behavioral interventions for children with ADHD—but many parents have never been told what it actually involves. Learn how BPT can help with challenging behavior, homework, routines, school support, and everyday family life.
