It happened again. You dated the same person, different face. You and your child can't get along. You had another misunderstanding with your parent. A friend is pulling away. You and your spouse can't get on the same page.
Patterns. Cycles. They're often the results of deeply rooted cognitive wiring and we just need a little help connecting the dots...rerouting.
Internal chatter often comes before external conflict. What thoughts need to be challenged? Is the breakdown in communication external, internal, or both?
If you're ready to recalibrate, to get in harmony and in alignment with your social-emotional goals...Let's talk!

Many obstacles can interfere with living life to its fullest, but they don't have to. Creating a focused plan and sticking with it can be life changing, and at times deeper issues are at play. In my practice I work with high performing individuals such as Athletes, Entertainers and Public Figures, as well as their families. Having competed and worked in the Sport and Entertainment Industries for more than twenty years, I've developed a unique approach incorporating performance psychology, positive mental health and mindfulness to consistently help clients around the world meet and exceed their goals.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, anxious, depressed, and reliving past traumatic experiences, but hopeful for understanding, confidence, and peace? Through my work in sexual assault centers, domestic violence shelters, in private practice, and at Onsite Workshops I have learned how trauma is stored in the body, how it creates negative beliefs about the self, how it keeps us from living in the present moment and how it keeps us from connecting to those around us. Working with me feels like resource building and gentle confrontation in order to delve into past wounds with a deeply open, knowledgeable, and compassionate ally.

Life can be hard across the lifespan. Dealing with school, peers, family, aging, career, and other things can start to feel overwhelming. When life starts to get out of control, therapy is a great way to regain strength and get back in touch with yourself. Maybe you want to learn coping skills, reach new goals, build self-esteem, heal from your experiences, or simply sit with someone who understands you. I work to create a safe, caring, accepting environment where we can deepen your understanding of yourself and foster a growth lifestyle.

As a licensed social worker, I specialize in working with first responders and their families, teens, and young adults - especially those navigating the complex journey through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.

My job is to help you bridge that gap - to find clarity, connection, and a renewed sense of peace within yourself. Whether you are showing up with years of hidden pain or just beginning to feel like something needs to change, you're welcome here - exactly as you are.

There are moments when your mind and body stop moving in the same direction; when you feel a deep disconnection from yourself, your emotions, or the world around you. For many navigating mood or personality disorders, addiction, shame, motherhood, or the long shadow of childhood trauma, this isn’t a rare moment; it’s a well‑practiced survival strategy. Your nervous system is doing what it learned long ago: protect you, even if the protection now feels like distance.
Disconnection isn’t a failure; it’s a biological stress response.

I use an integrative approach consisting of attachment theory, Internal Family Systems, trauma-focused CBT, and Parent Child Interaction Therapy.
It is easy to get “stuck” in life. Stuck in our negative thought loops, stuck in our past traumas, and stuck in the pattern of living as our younger selves. The goal of therapy is to experience movement in your life as you begin to apply the skills that challenge automatic thoughts, examine the origins of your behaviors, and gain an overall better understanding of the Self. My job is to help translate and untangle the messages we received in our past that are no longer serving us today. I believe in a holistic approach that examines the connection of our mental well-being with our physical health.

CLARITY, PEACE of MIND, CONFIDENCE, JOY and a SKILL SET by which to create and sustain a happier, healthier life, sound good? Let's face it, despite our best efforts life gets crazy at times. We can ride the slow gradual wave of disconnectedness until one day we wake up wondering "How the heck did I get here?!" Without warning we find ourselves in what I call an "uncomfortable comfortable." This turbulence is a result of life unfolding in ways we never imagined. Situations we've tried our best to "deal with" because "that's just life."

Welcome! You often feel guilty for saying no, worry about disappointing others, and overthink even small interactions. You put others first so much that you lose sight of your own needs, yet still fear being seen as selfish. Conflict feels terrifying, so you avoid it—even when it hurts. You attract one-sided relationships, struggle to set boundaries, and often feel unseen or taken for granted. Deep down, you may believe your worth depends on being helpful, agreeable, or easy to love. I work with people to figure out how to develop healthier relationships, live more authentically, cultivate self compassion, and connect to themselves.

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.
