One of the common reasons parents bring their children to me is because they are having behavior problems.  After ten years of working with families and children, I have developed a program to help parents stop these behavior problems.  Essentially, all behavior problems and acting out are really just different versions of the same thing.  Tantrums can include not only the traditional picture most people commonly think of in their mind of a child screaming and wailing in order to get their way.  Tantrums also include badgering, whining, defiance, not listening to directions, talking with disrespect, and teenage rebellion such as truancy and drug use. 

If your child is defiant and acting out, then I can help you make positive changes to stop your child’s tantrums.  If your child has developed a serious behavior problem, you may feel helpless and believe that the problems are caused by your child.  Although your child is clearly a part of the problem, in reality, so are you.  You simply need to change your reactions to your child’s behavior.  You have more power to stop tantrums than you realize.  It is possible!

I also provide tantrum stopper seminars to churches, schools, and community organizations.  The seminar is 3 hours in length.  Tantrum stopping is interesting, fun, and empowering for parents!

In addition to five years of training in marriage and family therapy to achieve both a Master’s Degree and a Ph.D. (See my biography HERE), I have completed the following trainings to enhance my skills in being able to assist parents with raising responsible children.
