인생을 살다 보면 누구나 예외없이 ‘감당하기 어려운 일들’과 마주치게 됩니다. 때로는 이런 버거운 상황들이 마음의 짐이나 트라우마가 되고, 그러다보면 우울증, 불안증, 스트레스, 강박증, 대인기피증, 분노와 같은 마음의 병이 생기기도 합니다. 이런 마음의 병들은 나를 잃어버리게 만들고 사람들과의 관계를 무너뜨릴 뿐 아니라 우리의 일상 생활과 사회생활을 어렵게 만듭니다. 그리고 결국 우리는 그 문제 속에 갇혀버리게 됩니다. 이럴 땐 잠시 문제로부터 떨어져 다른 관점으로 문제를 보는 것이 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 또한 누군가 나를 전폭적으로 지지해주고 공감해주며 도울 수 있는 사람이 있다는 것만으로도 위로가 되기도 합니다.

I help parents use personalized ABA strategies to manage challenging behavior and strengthen the parent-child bonds by empowering you as the teacher in your child's development, enhancing your skills, and positively impacting your family's daily life.
Hello. While working together, I strive to accomplish significant milestones for your child and family. Some examples of skills learned for a child and their family include fostering independent dressing, facilitating the transition from non-verbal to functional communication with AACD, and addressing self-injurious behaviors like head-banging. We guide children to express distress through alternative means, such as hitting their thighs or stomping their feet. Applying evidence-based ABA techniques has a profound impact, enhancing family communication, refining dressing routines, and offering an alternative behavior to self-injury.

Currently I am getting trained in Parent Child Interaction Therapy to help toddlers and children to manage their behaviors.
Is your toddler, child, teen or adult family member struggling to thrive due to family dynamics, cultural pressures, or other challenges? I can help you to reconnect and understand your child as well as yourself. A key aspect of my therapeutic approach utilizes insights from my extensive experience with full service partnership (FSP) wraparound programs. This family-based, community-driven model has deepened my understanding of how to address mental health needs through a holistic, culturally-responsive lens.

Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Therapists
Does parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) work?
PCIT is an evidence-based treatment that has been shown to be effective across domains, including for children with behavioral problems, those on the autism spectrum, and those who have experienced early childhood trauma. Further, studies have found that the skills developed through PCIT benefit not only the child in therapy but also siblings, as the parent internalizes lessons learned in sessions and is able to incorporate them into interactions with other family members.
How long does PCIT last?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and treatment lasts, on average, between 12 and 20 sessions. Factors that influence treatment duration include how regularly a client attends treatment, how much progress is achieved between sessions, the particular skills that need development, and the extent to which the parent and therapist see improvement.
Can PCIT be done online?
PCIT is among the therapy types best suited for video sessions. Therapists are able to communicate with parents with essentially the same ease, and by observing the parent and child at home in their normal environment, the therapist may gain additional insight into their interactions, as the child will have their normal toys and may feel more comfortable and act more naturally than they would in a therapist’s room.
Does PCIT help parents?
In addition to the skills parents develop through the treatment, PCIT has also been shown to reduce frustration, stress, and depression in parents and promote confidence and a sense of calm when dealing with their children. The desired outcomes of PCIT include a reduction in defiant and aggressive behavior by children and an improvement in communicating their feelings productively, complying with parental instruction, and behaving according to parents’ rules. Growth in these areas can be a relief for parents.
