Daily routines and simple tasks can sometimes feel like a power struggle with children. You have tried everything to only experience temporary or no success. Life doesn't stop for tantrums, where giving up and giving in seems easier so you can get out the door. Parent-Child Interactive Therapy PCIT benefits families by acquiring skills to increase positive interactions and ability to regulate emotions when facing stressors and challenges. I enjoy helping parents regain confidence in themselves as daily routines become easier and your child builds trusting, healthy boundaries. PCIT treatment, generally, is best for kids ages 2-7yrs. I enjoy working with teens and adults who seek to gain more control over their lives by building confidence to express their needs, advocate for themselves, and foster respectful relationships. Clients are able to explore what is important to them and create meaningful goals to improve their ability to navigate life and increase self-esteem. I believe building a trusting relationship takes time and understanding of how stressors are experienced from their perspective. I strive to create a supportive, engaging, and sometimes light-hearted environment, using humor and a relaxed energy to make difficult conversations feel more accessible, allowing clients to feel safe and empowered.
