Do You Feel Burned-Out and Overwhelmed
From Dealing With a Difficult Child?
  

             


I can help. I am a licensed Marriage Family Therapist who specializes in helping parents with challenging children through the use of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). I have practiced PCIT since 2000 and have extensive experience in helping hundreds of families reduce their stress and enjoy more satisfying relationships with their children.

Many of my clients have told me that prior to PCIT they had read "all the books" and attended parenting classes, but that nothing has helped them make changes in their family as quickly and effectively as PCIT.

 

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT):
  • uses a two-way mirror and live-coaching via electronic listening device
  • is an Evidence-Based Treatment that is strongly supported by research
  • successfully decreases behavior problems in children ages 2-8
  • teaches effective parenting techniques that can be used with all children in the family 
  • improves the quality of the parent-child relationship
  • decreases parental stress levels
  • is tailored to the specific needs of each child and parent based on clinical assessment

   As seen on the Today Show! PCIT was profiled on the Today Show as a useful technique to improve the classroom functioning of a 6 year-old with ADHD. View the 4 minute video of PCIT in action.
