I see a range of difficulties, from troubles in interpersonal and parent-child relationships, to mood and anxiety disturbance, to disruptions in attention, learning and work, to problems with the self-esteem and self-regard.
In my practice, I aim to create a comfortable space within which to explore emotional, interpersonal, and behavioral difficulties. I work with children, adolescents and adults in individual, couple, and family psychotherapy. Through a collaborative process, I help patients discover connections between problematic patterns of thinking and relating, and the ongoing challenges they face. These connections – between thoughts and feelings, past and present, internal experience and external situations – can help a person think in new ways, generating possibilities for growth and change.

Through Parent-Child Interaction Therapy ( PCIT), you will gain all of those skills and learn how to shift your child's behavior through positive attention and consistent, predictable discipline strategies.
I specialize in helping families strengthen relationships and helping parents learn how to manage their children's difficult behaviors.

My goal is to help you feel empowered by learning the skills to change your child's behavior and help them learn more effective strategies to grow.

For young children, I offer parent-child therapy with live coaching to help parents practice child therapy strategies with their child at home and out in public.
As a parent, you'd do anything for your child to be happy and successful. But when your child is struggling you can find yourself lost. Negotiating, talking it out, yelling, reasoning, and bribing haven’t worked. If you have a young child, you may find your life is now shaped around their moods, worries, or tantrums. Or maybe you have a teen, whose inner world feels increasingly out of reach for you and overwhelming for them. I want to help you and your child understand what’s happening and find a new path forward.

Do you or a family member feel that life is so difficult and everything you try appears to be falling apart at the seam. Disappointment, hurt, grief and anger can morph into complicated unwanted behavior if left unresolved.

Over the years the feedback that I have received from clients is: that I am warm, caring, understanding, easy to talk to; willing to help you tell your story by asking the questions that bring out your inner voice and easily reached by phone or text.

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.
