The best way to describe my treatment approach: unconventional. There aren't very many life circumstances that I have not experienced; I do not judge. With me, you have a safe space to explore; a space to delve deep into the person you are now, how you became this person and who you wish to become. What is your dream life? Are your relationships fulfilling? What life do you want for your children? Why haven't you forgiven yourself? Lets talk; revisiting our pain is difficult but, necessary.

Young children with challenging behavior require a specialized evidence based treatment ( PCIT) that supports the parent(s) in learning therapeutic skills to improve their child's behavior.
It’s well known that the best and sometimes only way to “better” is through. Finding the strength, motivation, and courage to work through challenges is easier said than done.

One of the most important things impacting the success of therapy is the quality of the relationship between a therapist and their client. For this reason, it’s so important that you’re comfortable working closely with your therapist and have confidence that they have the expertise and experience to support you.

Terror, shame, guilt… they seize you after a traumatic event or relationship. And sadly, they never let go, even long after the trauma has passed. They seep into your body and mind and go deep, affecting everything: how you feel, how you think, how you relate to others, and how you see the world around you. The numbness, the unhealthy relationships you get into over and over again, the self-destructive behaviors… they all stem from trauma. You’re probably here because you’ve felt sad, hopeless, worthless, and anxious for a while now. You might not even know why you feel this way or how it started. All you know is you need relief.

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.
