Using standard parenting practices does not work on kids with ADHD. That’s why it’s important to equip yourself with powerful and practical skills that will help both your child and your family.

I prefer working with both mom AND dad to make sure you understand and are a united front when parenting your child. Kids with ADHD have an innate ability to find the holes in your parenting and use it to their advantage! If you are on different pages and come from families who differ in child-rearing practices, (like me!) I can help you come to a common ground. Be forewarned, you may have to change something you’re doing and it may not be intuitive. TRUST ME. I have made all the mistakes and now have the clinical experience to prove what works.
Cost: $150/ 50-minute session
