Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Therapists in San Marcos, TX

Pain can lead to the most profound feelings of isolation and hopelessness. I have experience working with individuals, families, and couples, helping people during the most vulnerable times in their lives and have seen first hand how unresolved and damaged relationships have negatively impacted people and caused pain. One of people's biggest regrets at end-of-life are the relationships they have neglected. One of my greatest passions is working with individuals and families to address hurts and impasses: being both witness and participant.

I help women with young children who are filled with self-doubt about their abilities as a mom to achieve knowledge and understanding of emotional development in children so that they can feel confidence in themselves as a mother and absolute trust in their ability to nurture a solid, loving bond with their children. Unlike self-help books and podcasts that provide generalized content for every kind of mama, I focus on helping you, as an individual, to identify your specific desires for your parent-child relationship and cultivate unshakeable trust in yourself as a strong and rooted mama.
