I am a Licensed, Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in San Jose, CA and founded Lil Monster Moments to help guide parents through the challenges of raising infants, toddlers, and teens.    Parenting can be the most difficult task we will ever have to manage in this lifetime.  Having personal access to a professional therapist who can deliver helpful solutions during these challenges can significantly reduce stress.  By gaining new insight and discipline techniques you may also increase parental satisfaction, marital and family fulfillment, as well as confidence in both yourself and your children.   Did you know there are behavioral tools a parent can use during a child's tantrums that can quickly turn a lil monster moment into a moment of success?  There are methods available during the difficult times that can actually promote your child's self-esteem, social development, and emotional regulation.......no more relying on "time-outs" that don't seem to work or promote change.  If you are facing lil monster moments with your children and are seeking support, please "Contact Misty".

As a therapist, I have over 14 years of experience working with toddlers, teens, individuals, couples and families (please visit testimonials).  I hold a successful private practice in San Jose, CA.   I am also a mommy.....who faces all the same challenges as everyone, but I apply the same techniques I offer to others to help myself along the journey of parenthood and partnership in hopes of creating a more fulfilling family.
