In addition to working with adults, I also offer Parent-Child Interact Therapy to kids ages 2-7 who are experiencing behavioral issues.
Throughout life, the struggles we face can leave us feeling as though we are wandering through a never-ending desert without shade, water, or comfort in sight. This can lead us to feeling exhausted, alone, and hopeless. Juniper NW Counseling is about offering that moment of shade, a space to rest, heal and be restored. Whether your desert is depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, isolation in relationships, feelings of inadequacy, or parenting challenges, I work to create a non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to share about the most vulnerable parts of your desert.

My ideal client is tired of being stuck. They feel like they've been in motion, but haven't really moved. They have begun to recognize that the things they have tried just aren't cutting it. As difficult as this may be to admit, they recognize they need help.

Often times, life stressors within our significant relationships are what prompt us to seek additional support in the form of therapy. Similarly, when we experience emotional distress, it typically impacts important relationships and environments, including friendships, school and work. It is my goal to help individuals and families explore and solve their relational, emotional and behavioral concerns. My style of therapy is focused on symptom reduction rather than diagnoses or labels, and on improving one's overall health and quality of life.

You’re running on empty, trying to juggle work, parenting, and everything in between. Sleep feels like a distant memory, and it’s hard to stay focused on anything other than the endless to-do list. Anxiety creeps in, and you feel overwhelmed, but you push through because your family comes first. You wonder if you’re really cut out for this. Deep down, you know something’s got to give—you can’t keep pouring from an empty cup.

I believe that every family has their own unique story. Many times, the families we work with see the stories of their lives as destructive or not beneficial for their goals. By deconstructing the problem to find the dominant narrative, we can begin to broaden the view of the story to reveal unique outcomes. We will then create goals to increase the frequency of those outcomes; making them to be not so unique but benefiting factors in your life.

I believe therapy should be a space where people feel accepted and secure to lead and discern what is most supportive for their therapy journey to flourish. My background working with individuals, families, and children has equipped me to support those looking to conquer individual goals, raise a healthy family unit, or support their children. If you're a parent looking to enhance your skillsets, or if you're seeking the right person to support your child- that is where my heart is. A passion for serving those struggling with daily life encourages me to walk with each person toward healing.

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.
