I am PCIT certified, and trained in CBT, Exposure & Response Prevention.
Everyone has a calling. I believe mine is supporting children, young adults and families. For younger children, I work collaboratively with parents to understand the sources contributing to the child’s difficulties, to help rebuild a feeling of closeness, warmth and effective parenting. For older adolescents and young adults, our work is often centered on preparing to launch as an independent adult. That means strengthening relationships with family and friends, sorting out the balance of work and life choices, making values-based career decisions, and figuring out how to live in a way that really aligns with personal values.

Children, teens, adults, and families often come to me looking for clarity and support around attention, learning, emotions, relationships, or life transitions. My work in psychological and neuropsychological assessment goes beyond a label to help people better understand how they’re wired, what may be getting in the way, and where their strengths live. My goal is not just to provide answers, but to help clients and families feel understood, make sense of the bigger picture, and move forward with greater confidence and support.

I hold additional certifications in PCIT and trauma therapy.
I help parents, children, and teens make lasting change in behavior, mood, and family interactions using evidence-based strategies that actually work. If you are struggling with your child's tantrums, defiance, ADHD, bedtime or homework battles, sibling conflict, anxiety, or depression, we can work together to restore peace in your home, even if your child seems disinterested in therapy or you've already tried everything. You do not have to face these challenges alone, and you do not need years of therapy to make progress. You just need a professional with the right specialty, and a good plan to get things back on track.

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.
