Being a wife a mother and a licensed counselor I can answer any question in regards to your relationship with your child or significant other. Particularly questions that deal with behavioral issues. If there is something that really bothers your about your spouse or child's behavior I may be able to give you a behavioral solution.

Experience
I have worked as a behaviorist for four years and as a guidance counselor in a high school for two years. As a behaviorist I designed plans to help people change their own behaviors as well as the way others behave twords them. As a guidance counselor I helped parents find ways of controlling their teenagers and developing a better relationship with them.
