Services

I serve families in the Greater Washington Area.  
I work with children of all ages, but specialize in ages 0-12.

Behavioral Issues: 
I will help you understand your child’s behavior and give you discipline tools to manage them. For example:
Whining    Tantrums    Physical Aggression   Rule-Breaking   Bed-wetting    Power Struggles   Separation Anxiety

Transitions:
Life transitions impact our children more than we realize. I can help you prepare for and adjust to changes such as:
Starting School    New Baby    Moving    Blended Families    Separating Families    Adoption    Grief/Loss

Parent Education:
I provide parent education on a variety of topics including:  
Discipline
Learn how to manage behavioral issues effectively and empathically.
Partner Communication
Improve partner communication and learn how to approach parenting as a team.  
The Power of Play
Foster your child's social, emotional and academic development through play.  
Temperament
Understand your child's personality and how to tailor your parenting strategies to match your child. 
Academic Success
Learn how to foster your child's persistence, internal motivation and growth mindset to improve academic success.

How I Work:
I work with families to create a plan that incorporates both your parenting style and your child's temperament. 
After an initial telephone consultation, I conduct an assessment of the behaviors; help you create a plan to address the problems; and then coach you through the implementation of the plan.  It is most efficient to work where the behavior is occurring. Therefore I typically provide coaching in the home or in schools.

I offer:
In-person coaching
Telephone consultations
Coaching via skype
Group seminars and workshops
Follow-up support via telephone and email
