I view counseling as a collaborative journey of self-discovery and growth, that fully begins when clients viscerally feel seen, safe, and understood. I believe in the importance of embracing one’s experiences, emotions, and the totality of who they are and who they love to change. To that end, my aim is to allow clients of a variety of ages, cultures, and backgrounds, to process and explore their reality fully, create connection, hope, meaning, and provide additional tools that can help bridge to healthier thinking, choices, and lifestyles.

My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. You don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we will create space to understand what has been weighing on you and build practical tools that support steady and meaningful growth.

My clients often come to me with life transition issues (teens, parenting challenges, relationship issues, major life events, trauma) and are experiencing a loss of identity, lack of direction and symptoms of pervasive anxiety . Together we explore with compassion for the journey to this point, identifying the life worth living and develop a cohesive treatment plan to meet those goals. Through peeling back layers of an onion, we tackle areas of trauma, hurt, shame as we grow empathy for self and tools to start actively changing the cycle of pain. My proudest moment is when a client is able to step down in treatment as goals are met.

I have extensive training working with individuals who struggle with a range of anxiety symptoms, and diagnoses especially trauma. In my years of practice, I have noticed that many clients lack trust in themselves and the ability to find a positive sense of self. People just want to understand themselves and become more comfortable with how they handle daily life stressors and others. To achieve this goal individuals need support with recognizing triggers and utilizing appropriate coping skills to reduce the negative responses to those triggers.

Need a compassionate counselor who also teaches practical tools? If you're like most of my clients, you want someone who does more than just offer an ear and a safe space to talk. Maybe you are looking for someone who also offers direction towards the goals you set for yourself from the beginning, providing feedback along the way, and sometimes homework to help build your coping skills and life resources. If this sounds like you, I invite you to an initial session to see if we may be a good fit. Optional: If you want to incorporate a Christian faith-based approach, just ask me how we can bring faith into your counseling experience.

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.
