We all struggle in life, at one point or another. The question is how we navigate through that struggle. This is also why we can all use some guidance. I work collaboratively with clients to help them cope with these struggles, meet new goals and live an authentic, meaningful life. The foundation of that life is built on their self-determined values and strengths. I also challenge my clients to grow, seek out their strengths in all aspects of their life and offer them the emotional support and tools necessary to make deep and lasting positive changes.

It's not easy being a human. You might show up in the world as a high-performer - someone who's got it together, but inside, you feel so much self-doubt. Maybe it's been a long time since you've felt like yourself, or maybe, you're trying to figure out your identity, and it feels too painful to do so. You find yourself racing to keep up with it all, or shutting down because it's so hard. There's no map or guidebook that feels like it fits you, and there's something holding you back. Whether you're a new parent, going through a life transition like retirement or peri/menopause, coming out, or just trying to keep up, I've got you.

Waitlist for new clients
The work often begins in a moment of transition—burnout, grief, a shift in identity or relationship to self. Many who find this space are helpers, deep feelers, or those who’ve been carrying more than their share for a long time. There’s often a longing to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what’s been quieted. Sessions hold space for meaning-making, nervous system repair, and relational healing. This isn’t about fixing—it’s about returning. To what’s true, what’s needed, and what’s been waiting.

I'm so glad you're here! You're taking the first step towards the future you picture, and that takes courage. It's so easy to make excuses as to why today isn't the right day to prioritize yourself...your kids are in the middle of sports, work is too busy, the laundry and bills are piling up, the dog needs a walk and you need to go to the gym. The reality is that all of those things will be there whether or not you start therapy, but therapy will make them all easier to deal with.

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.
