Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a short-term, evidence-based treatment for kids ages 2.5 to 7 years old who exhibit behaviors such as anger, hyperactivity, trouble focusing, frequent tantrums, aggression, and anxiety. Caregivers learn and implement play therapy techniques that help kids regulate their emotions, increase focus, and strengthen the parent-child relationship. Caregivers learn concrete strategies to promote consistency, predictability, and motivate their child to follow directions. PCIT with Toddlers is an adaptation of PCIT for kids ages 12-24 months with similar behavior concerns.

If your teenager is in turmoil and you don't know what to do I can provide them with a safe place to take a deep breath and unload their problems. Being a teenager is hard enough and the ever-increasing demands and pressures from school and society can take their toll. Along with adolescents and their families, my other area of specialty is help and healing for women who are having emotional difficulties after having an abortion. For some women, this experience can cause severe anxiety, guilt, anger and bitterness. I am trained to help you through this, grieve the loss and move forward in a completely non-judgmental setting.

It has been estimated that 3.3 to a reported high of 6 million people suffer from OCD in the US. OCD, in particular, continues to be misdiagnosed and as a result is often treated ineffectively. Using primarily CBT, ACT, E/RP and mindfulness based treatment my goal is to help you manage these debilitating conditions with empirically based strategies, helping you gain the means to get back on the path of your true potential and lead a life that is worth living. We can work together to effectively manage your OCD, anxiety, depression or grief in a way that supports living a life that you value.

My coaching philosophy is simple: It's about moving forward . . . without looking behind. We will begin our first session by completing this statement: "I want ____________, but I can't because _____________." As your coach, I will (1) Assess the area(s) preventing you from moving forward (what's got you stuck?); (2) Identify where it is you want to be in life personally and professionally; and (3) Develop a roadmap to get you there.

Are you intrigued about therapy and yoga and the benefits it offers to the mind, body, spirit? If you struggle with high anxiety and desire to connect more deeply with your emotional self then I encourage you to reach out. Do you want more than “talk therapy” and want to engage in therapy with a more holistic approach? I have learned to take notice of the forgotten needs of driven yet exhausted individuals. I have learned to listen to the needs and feelings of those who often lack words to communicate what is happening inside of themselves.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
