Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Therapists in Acushnet, MA

I have over 22 years of experience working with children and families. The principles of wraparound are a major component of my work as I believe that families are the experts on their own experiences, strengths and needs. Building an integrated team of both natural and professional supports can help a family meet their goals for themselves in a way that is sustainable.

I obtained my Masters in Counseling from Duquesne University. I've worked with teenagers and parents, conducting family therapy. I have much personal experience with people with disabilities feeling seen as valuable people rather than for their disabilities and how they and others can advocate. Finally, I specialize in working with adults regarding issues of grief/loss and trauma recovery with abusive relationships.

Life is a journey! The past few years have been a whirlwind of emotion with so much loss, change, and uncertainty. Finding a soft place to land and making sense of life and so many unknown feelings can be challenging. Awareness of what you need is the first step, and I will be present, to listen and guide you back to your chosen path. It is never too late to restart or go in a different direction and no one needs to do that alone.

Life can be very challenging at times. Often, we find ourselves in places, wondering how did I get here? Or not again? Although the details may be different, you will find repeated themes in your life. The first step in solving any problem is to identify the problem. We will work together to gain an understanding of: why you are where you are at this time in your life, what you would like to change, and learn the tools needed in order to effectively make the changes and establish long and short term goals.

I help my clients feel better about themselves and deal more effectively with the people in their lives. Do you sometimes wonder how to get your partner or children to understand you? Are you feeling frustrated and don't know who to talk with? Do you want to increase your effectiveness with others? It is so very important to be known and understood by the people that you care about the most. Your relationships have the potential to become a place where you can bring more joy and happiness into your life.

Welcome! I am a clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties. My style is collaborative and pragmatic; blending warmth and compassion with competence and expertise. While I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy for children and adolescents (including parent/caregiver coaching and family therapy) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), I believe in tailoring therapy to meet each individual’s needs and values.

We believe each of us has the capacity to truly learn about ourselves through our most challenging experiences. We use life’s challenges to grow into the people we strive to be, however at times these experiences are difficult to navigate independently. We believe the best therapeutic relationship begins with a strong, safe, and trusting therapeutic alliance. Without this security, clients can not fully achieve their goals set forth in treatment. Our eclectic and client specific approach, allows us to meet clients where they are and develop a treatment plan to best fit their needs/goals.
