I provide a integrative & creative counseling approach to therapy which creates a space for clients to feel encouraged, gain insight and self discovery. Sometimes life can take us through tough times which I like to call a life transition period. Whether it is in your career, relationships, or self perception(ie. body-image). Life's transitions or hang ups may cause anxiety, shame, peer pressure, & sadness. I give client's the tools to feel empowered & encouraged to welcome change, strive to overcome self doubt/insecurities, and feelings of not being accepted by friends, family, and/or co-workers.

How different would your life be if you experienced difficult emotions for minutes at a time verses days or weeks? Suppose in everyday interactions, you were able to teach your children to deal with frustrations skillfully. What would your marriage look like if you weren’t compelled by anger to say the thing that causes your wife or husband to stop speaking to you or you were able to be more productive at work because your anxiety or sadness passed as suddenly as it came. I specialize in techniques to help adults, children, and adolescents find freedom from unnecessary suffering and help parents raise more thoughtful children.

I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trained in Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
Trauma, sadness, anxiety, concentration problems, grief, and challenging behaviors - like defiance and temper tantrums - are often difficult for both caregivers and children alike. They contribute to stress, feelings of isolation, and problems at school, home, and in the community. When left untreated, these issues can also lead to long-term physical and mental health challenges. My aim is to empower children, teens, and families to create the change they wish to see in their lives. By enhancing resiliency, not only do we work to address current problems, but develop the tools to better cope with future challenges.

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.
