Child Parent Relationship Therapy or CPRT is a play-based treatment program for children presenting with behavioral, emotional, social, and attachment disorders. At the heart of CPRT is the premise that a secure parent child relationship is the essential factor for children's well-being. In a supportive environment, parents learn skills to respond more effectively to their children's emotional and behavioral needs. In turn, children learn that they can count on their parents to reliably and consistently meet their needs for love, acceptance, safety and security.

We all have lived experiences, life choices, and developmental stages which have shaped our story. Seeking therapy, or counseling, can carry a negative stigma in some families and communities. We work to change this perspective, especially concerning issues with youth, families, and racially-diverse communities. We work from a holistic perspective that includes attention to your physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and relational well-being. Our Therapists have a rich blend of experiences including: residential treatment, child welfare, adoption/foster care, parenting support, substance use, family care,& community mental health.
Offered Virtually and In Person. These classes help parents balance supporting their children with their anxiety but also instill confidence and independence in their children. We cover education about anxiety, ways parents respond to anxiety, and set goals for parents to implement at home. The class is based on the SPACE Program developed at the Yale Child Center. I created this workshop to reduce your family's distress as well as decrease your child's symptoms while you wait for individual therapy or in conjunction to your child's therapy.
Finally, I run Parenting Classes focusing on helping parents of anxious children.
I am currently only accepting certain clients for my waitlist. I do have spots available for my Parenting Classes. I specialize in helping children, teens, and adults manage and decrease their anxiety. While anxiety can be a part of daily life, at times it becomes debilitating or distressing. I work with my clients to find a way to balance daily stress while still finding enjoyment in life. I utilize evidence-based practices that are based on science and measurable goals. I like my clients to feel involved in the process of choosing goals and measuring their own progress and successes.

I know how tough it can be to manage the daily challenges of parenting, especially when you're facing unique developmental or emotional hurdles.
Parenting is hard, parenting a child with a trauma background or neurodivergence can feel especially isolating and overwhelming. If you have gone through many professionals who have thrown their hands up already or maybe the people you share your concerns with keep telling you that your kid will “grow out of it,” I’m glad you’re still searching for answers. You know your kid and you’re doing the right thing by finding ways to support their needs. I work with families and children who: experienced trauma, spent time in foster care, are adopted, were exposed to drugs, are neurodiverse, or simply have a more challenging temperament.

In our " Parenting Bootcamp" parents meet online weekly to learn the play therapy skills and behavior therapy skills to manage disruptive behaviors of children ages 1-10 in a support group atmosphere that is fun and interactive. Child participation is optional as parents can learn these strategies through lecture and by watching videos of parents using these strategies with their children. And every family receives a weekly behavior plan for their child at the end of each group. And some families stay in contact after the group to become a part of each other's support systems.
Child therapy for big emotions and challenging behaviors. Evening & weekend availability. We teach parents therapeutic play skills and behavior therapy skills for children ages 1-12 so they can dissolve emotions quickly and help their children manage impulses and respond to instructions quickly. These strategies come from Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and PC-Care, two protocols researched at UC Davis Children’s Hospital and shown to be nurturing and effective. The CDC has even recommended PCIT for children under 6 with ADHD before trying medication. Let’s work together to bring peace and warmth back to your home!

Parenting Support Groups
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
