Is your child struggling in School? Are they getting in trouble a lot, do they struggle with their grades, or have they experienced a scary or traumatic event? Do you feel hopeless, exhausted, overwhelmed or disconnected and are not sure how to help? Have you tried counseling before, but it didn't help? Its so hard to see our children struggle and not know what to do. This can keep them from being happy, having fun, making friends, and doing well in school.

I have training in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and specialize in attachment and trauma.
Heartsong: The expression of a person's inner essence, underlying identity, and reason for existence. Being a kid in today’s world can be overwhelming, stressful, and confusing at times. Sometimes life circumstances or traumatic situations happen that cause these big feelings for kids. I would like to offer a safe space for kids to explore these things. My hope through the counseling process is that kids will feel safe enough to grow by learning new techniques and strategies, heal from hurtful or traumatic experiences, and of course have some fun while we are at it by using play, laughter, and games.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Life is full of unexpected events that sometimes leave us feeling unsettled. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, grief, childhood trauma, or just need someone to listen and give you a different perspective. Therapy can work for you. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all; therefore, I use a combination of evidence-based therapy techniques tailored to your individual needs. I aim to make sure you feel comfortable as we work together to explore your story and focus on personal growth and healing.

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.
