We can all benefit from therapy at some point in our lives. You don’t have to be “crazy,” desperate or on the brink of a meltdown to go to therapy. People with strong support systems can deal with the day in and day out struggles of life without needing therapy. When do we know it's time to seek therapy? Most of us try to deal with struggles on our own until they become unmanageable. When you are no longer yourself its time to seek help: overwhelming feelings of sadness, anger, changes in your eating and sleeping patterns, soothing with alcohol or drugs are several examples. Take the first step towards better health.

I am trained in Trauma Focused CBT (TF-CBT) and Parent Child Interactive Therapy ( PCIT), and I am a certified Domestic Violence Facilitator.
Empowering Change, One Step at a Time. My ideal client has experienced childhood trauma, depression, or domestic violence and struggles with its lasting effects—anxiety, self-doubt, or unhealthy relationship patterns.
They may feel stuck, burdened by past wounds, and unsure how to move forward. They need a safe, supportive space to heal and break generational cycles.
Their goal is not just to cope but to thrive—building self-worth, healthier relationships, and emotional resilience. They seek healing because they deserve more than survival; they want to rewrite their story and live with confidence, peace, and purpose.

Does it feel like people see you as having it all together, but inside you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or just not yourself? Maybe past experiences—difficult relationships or childhood wounds—still shape how you respond to life. You might be looking to make sense of those patterns, manage anxiety more effectively, or reconnect with what matters most. Whether you’re just starting the process or have done some inner work already, therapy can be a place to feel supported, seen, and grounded as you move forward.

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.
