With having a PCIT certification, we can also help you develop structured parenting skills that will improve your child’s behaviors.
You have a list of things to do each day, but you are barely getting one task crossed off. You’re finding it difficult to get your day started. No one in your circle seems to understand your struggle OR you're trying your best to keep it all together. Maybe you feel hopeless, confused, resentful, telling yourself “I miss who I used to be before marriage and the kids”. Maybe you are thinking who you are and what you do is just never good enough. You could even be questioning constantly “is everyone else’s kids this difficult and defiant”?

In parenting/caregiver relationships, I support caregivers by explaining how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened by understanding their child’s emotions/behavior.
As a relationship focused therapist, my primary goal is promoting the healthy social, emotional, and relational health of both adults and young children. Endorsed as an Infant Family Specialist, I have experience with supporting the healthy social/emotional development of children prenatally through age 5. As an infant and early childhood mental health(IECMH) professional, I have an understanding of family dynamics and relationship building at an individual & family level. As a marriage counselor, I share tools to help marriages thrive. With both populations, I use a strength-based, culturally sensitive and trauma informed approach.

Hi there! In the midst of life's demands, it's easy to feel emotionally and mentally drained. Balancing roles as parents, partners, colleagues, and caretakers often leads us to overlook our own well-being. It can feel like an endless cycle of battling anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, leaving us feeling stuck in a hamster wheel of stress. While we prioritize relationships with others, it's equally crucial to nurture our relationship with ourselves. If you're grappling with self-criticism or navigating life's transitions while seeking identity, remember: self-care isn't a luxury; it's vital for our well-being.

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.
