You have become a mom, your child is not older than 3 or 5 years old, and you feel lost, sad, alone, rageful, misunderstood or even feel you don't know who you are anymore. Nobody told you that motherhood could be so overwhelming. However, you are certain that you don't want to hurt your child in the same ways you were hurt as a kid. All you want is to become the mother you anticipated to be for your child, but how?

Even if things look fine from the outside and you’re the kind of person who handles a lot, inside you might feel exhausted and emotionally drained. You may have thoughts or experiences you don’t feel comfortable sharing with anyone, not even close family or friends. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. I work with high-functioning individuals who feel stuck beneath the surface, people who are outwardly capable but inwardly overwhelmed. Many of my clients come to me battling overthinking, emotional fatigue, shame, anxiety, perfectionism, procrastination, panic, ADHD, or the lingering effects of complicated family dynamics.

I am a trauma therapist specializing in working with children, teens, and adults who struggle with trauma, panic attacks, and debilitating anxiety. I understand that these experiences are not simply “in your head” — they are rooted in a dysregulated nervous system. While breathing techniques can be useful, they are often ineffective when someone is in full panic mode because the body is already in a survival response. My work focuses on targeted body-based interventions and nervous system reset strategies that address the physiological patterns driving symptoms.

An Ideal client is a combination of personal qualities, therapeutic needs, and fitting with the therapist's style & approach. Therefore the client is easily motivated to change, is open to self-reflection, actively participates in the therapeutic process, and puts in the effort to make the changes. A client who is ready to partner with the therapist in developing a treatment plan to work towards their goals: such as actively exploring their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, self-discovery, & considering different perspectives. Also this will help the client to have comfort with the therapist who is providing a supportive environment.

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.
