Our life experiences and our relationships with others create a unique story about our lives. There are times when this story unfolds in beautiful harmony and there are times that it seems like life is a hot mess. My approach to counseling is to help individuals, couples, and families discover pathways to finding peace and joy in the present and hope for the future. This may involve digging into past experiences and relationships to find different meaning and/or evaluating the circumstances of the present. Counseling offers an opportunity for everyone that is as unique as the fingerprints we leave in the course of our lives.

My passion is in working with children and their parents and caregivers. Honoring each and every child and the unique challenge and need they bring into the therapeutic playroom is my honor and a responsibility I hold sacred. Any child struggling to express their feelings and emotions and make sense of a challenging experience or period during their childhood and adolescence is welcomed. A parent or caregiver who hopes their child will learn and understand important skills such as emotional regulation, problem-solving, interpersonal skills, and communication is supported and empowered.

Experiences can shape who we believe ourselves to be without us even recognizing the impact of it all, often skewing our perceptions of our true self. Our situations and relationships can also leave us feeling hurt, disappointed, afraid, angry, confused, out of control, unmotivated, and so much more. I understand how difficult and uncomfortable it is to feel conflicting emotions simultaneously. I absolutely enjoy working with people of all walks of life to help build mindfulness, a deeper sense of self and clarity and peace amid whatever issues you may be facing.

Do you want to be involved in your child's treatment? Parents are often told to just put thier child in individual therapy, as if it is an independent procedure that can cure them or make them ideal. But then how do you handle things at home outside these occassional sessions? Parents should be equipped to deal with the behavioral issues, discipline, and mental health concerns of thier children. YOU as parents should be the most important part of treatment. As a family therapist, I work with parents, children, teens, and any adults seeking changes in thier emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns.

I’m more than happy to help you transform these symptoms, get to the root of the issues, and find your inner peace. Therapy with me is more than just talking or venting. I’ll engage you in effective techniques and provide you the tools needed to feel happy.

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.
