As a parent…
…it’s hard when your child is:

- A Toddler who refuses to share toys, screams when you leave, grabs things from others, hits other kids, throws temper tantrums, refuses to go to sleep, and dumps all his food on the floor with glee.
- School Age who doesn’t do her homework, gets into power struggles with you, takes forever to get dressed, won’t listen when it is time to turn off the TV or the computer, lies, cheats and has few friends.
- A Tween who talks on the phone constantly, is obsessed with her weight, wants a piercing, can’t stop IMing, texting, or updating Facebook, won’t focus on school, has a love-hate relationship with her best friend, and finds fault with everything you do.
- A Teen who wants to be separate yet connected, experiments with drugs, cigarettes, alcohol and sex, isn’t interested in plans beyond high school, sleeps all day, and wants you to leave him alone.
You are not alone. It’s time to get the guidance and help you are looking for.
I am here to help.
I have helped many others like you – good parents who want to become better parents.

I can help answer many of your questions, help you create a discipline plan that works, and provide you with skills to address your particular challenges.
Most importantly, I can teach you how to form a close, loving, long-lasting relationship with your child that can withstand all of life’s ups and downs.
