If you are struggling with change or a life transition, I am here to help. Change can be disruptive, stressful, and demanding. It interrupts our accustomed way of life and compels us to adjust to new, stressful, unfamiliar experiences. The uncertainty of change can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and distressed. My expertise and passion are in helping clients manage stress and anxiety triggered by life changes and transitions. I assist adolescents, young adults, couples, and families in developing coping strategies and skills to manage difficult life transitions.

You've worked so hard for everything you have. You thrive in your career and you seemingly have the life that most people would dream of. You take care of your family. You're the go to for your friends. But you look around and wonder who actually cares for you. Who knows the real you? Who do you reach out to when you're feeling low? There's a push and pull between reaching your goals and taking the time to enjoy the life you've created. The imposter syndrome, the isolation, the burn out. Every week there's a rollercoaster of emotions. You know something needs to change, you just aren't sure what or how to make the changes.

Something happened. Whatever it was, it rocked your world. You're not the same. You feel broken, defeated, anxious, shattered. You question yourself, your value. You don't know who to trust. Can you even trust yourself? How did this happen and how can you ensure it doesn't happen again? Maybe you've been here before- it feels like a pattern. You blame yourself. You blame others. You're angry and numb and overwhelmed all at once. You wear the mask daily- you look okay from the outside, but inside is a whole other place: self doubt, unworthiness, fear, anxiety and depression. You've tried but you just can't find the way out.

I have extensive training working with individuals who struggle with a range of anxiety symptoms, and diagnoses especially trauma. In my years of practice, I have noticed that many clients lack trust in themselves and the ability to find a positive sense of self. People just want to understand themselves and become more comfortable with how they handle daily life stressors and others. To achieve this goal individuals need support with recognizing triggers and utilizing appropriate coping skills to reduce the negative responses to those triggers.

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.
