After many years working with individual adults, families, couples, co-parents, children and teens, I have settled into a therapy practice on the island of working exclusively with individual women and teen girls. I prefer in-person meetings (walking on the beach is my office space), although I still do a limited amount of therapy with men and women via Zoom. A good client fit for me is anyone who is struggling in her personal relationships with a partner, friend, or family member, as well as parenting issues and work- or school-related stress.

Therapy should be deep, exploratory, and sometimes even a little fun—laughter and gratitude matter. Life invites us to grow and heal, but also to pause, discern, and hold what’s worth cherishing.

Whether navigating crisis or seeking clarity during life transitions, I offer a compassionate space to explore, heal, and grow with authentic strengthening of self-trust, deepening insight, and rediscovering meaning while honoring your story.

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.
