The angry, argumentative, and underperforming child is often seen by others as the product of lax parenting. This unfortunate characterization has had a great impact on the way our children are viewed by schools, employers, and society in general. The fact is parents often exhaust various recommended "fixes" and desperately want things to be normal. I have over 25 years of experience working with children and families. I understand the daily struggles parents routinely face. I know how school performance, relationships, and behavior are impacted when children struggle. I understand the frustrations associated with a child who "acts out" and underperforms. I have worked with children who experience behavioral issues on a daily basis. These struggles are routinely noted witin the home as well as in school. As a School Therapist and Behavioral Consultant with area school districts I am familiar with how a child's actions impacts home, school, and familiy. I have assisted in developing behavioral plans for school districts within the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan area. I routinely consult with the State of Missouri and various children's organizations. I can provide behavioral, educational, and substance abuse assessments. I also provide individual and family therapy services to address identified issues.
