Your child or teen may have intense emotional outbursts that happen often, including yelling, throwing things, or physical reactions, even in younger children or teens. These episodes can leave everyone feeling drained and unsure how to respond.

Your child or teen frequently argues with authority figures, refuses to follow rules at home or school, or pushes back against limits in ways that create ongoing tension and conflict.

Anger seems to flare up suddenly and intensely, often over small triggers, leaving you feeling shocked or helpless because the reaction feels much bigger than the situation.

Once upset, your child or teen struggles to settle down, staying angry or agitated for a long time, which can make everyday situations feel exhausting for the whole family.

Impulsive actions, aggression toward siblings or peers, or trouble following directions can create safety concerns and strain relationships at home and school.

Sometimes the anger is a sign of deeper stress, anxiety, or unmet needs that are not being expressed directly, so the behavior becomes the main way your child communicates their distress.

You can attend every session from the comfort of your own home. This makes it much easier to fit counseling into your busy family schedule without adding extra stress or logistics.

We work exclusively with children and teens, so we understand how anger and defiance show up in young lives.

Rather than focusing only on problems, we help identify and build on your child’s God-given strengths, resilience, and positive qualities.

We combine evidence-based therapy with a biblical worldview, so you receive professional help that respects your faith instead of conflicting with it.

Our work is practical and skill-focused, while remaining hopeful and grounded in faith so families feel supported rather than overwhelmed.

With more than 15 years working with families, I bring deep experience and specialized training to help children and teens facing these specific challenges.
