If you are dealing with frequent tantrums, defiance, big emotions, or power struggles, I want you to know:

You're not a bad parent. This is hard.

That's exactly where Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) can step in to help. PCIT is an evidence-based therapy designed to help young children and their caregivers build a stronger relationship while addressing those challenging behaviors.

To the exhausted parent trying to navigate daily meltdowns or a teen’s crippling anxiety - you are not alone. It is time to stop walking on eggshells.

Traditional "talk therapy" isn't always enough to change the dynamic at home. Moments Matter Counseling uses a different approach. I work directly with you, the parent, equipping you with evidence-based, actionable tools (like PCIT and SPACE) to handle behavioral challenges, manage anxiety, and reclaim the peace in your household.

Play is one of the most powerful tools we have to build a strong, loving connection with our children. But when you are navigating unique developmental needs, finding the right materials to keep your child engaged can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Pony Bird is a wonderful nonprofit dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals with disabilities, and this program is a true gift to our community.

The Pony Bird KidStart Lending Library is a free loan program for families, educators, and therapists of all ages and from any county. Borrow books, toys, communication devices, and adaptive equipment to support your child’s development—without the cost. Items are easy to check out, kept as long as needed, and returned when finished. Instead of buying, borrow and save!

I often get asked, "What actually happens in a PCIT session?" This video is the best 4-minute summary I've found. It covers:

0:32 – How it differs from traditional therapy.

1:17 – The Phase 1 & 2 breakdown.

3:50 – Is PCIT Right For Your Family?

As a PCIT therapist, I’ve seen these techniques bring peace back to parents time and time again. Check out the video below to see if this evidence-based approach is the right fit for your needs!
