Our life experiences and our relationships with others create a unique story about our lives. There are times when this story unfolds in beautiful harmony and there are times that it seems like life is a hot mess. My approach to counseling is to help individuals, couples, and families discover pathways to finding peace and joy in the present and hope for the future. This may involve digging into past experiences and relationships to find different meaning and/or evaluating the circumstances of the present. Counseling offers an opportunity for everyone that is as unique as the fingerprints we leave in the course of our lives.

I love to help neurodivergent children, teens, and adults learn to embrace their most authentic selves, while also learning to cope with a world that was not built for their uniquely wonderful brains. I partner with parents to help them gain insight into generational family relational patterns, to mindfully move through the daily chaos of being a parent, and to rediscover their joy in parenting. I use play therapy and person-centered counseling to empower my clients to gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and actions in order to live more consistently with their personal values and life goals.

Brokenness comes from relationships, and brokenness comes from the individual's heart. Perhaps you are struggling with the pain of a broken heart and have no way to repair it, and your life is bleak with no future in sight. When I was young, I also experienced a "broken heart," which is hard to describe! After that, I regained my faith and finished my Doctorate in Pastoral Counseling, CCPC (7000 hours of practice), and became a senior lecturer in Marriage and Family Counseling. Twenty years ago, I received nearly 1,000 Chinese with various kinds of "brokenness" psychological problems.

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.
