Watching your child struggle with big emotions or behaviors can feel overwhelming. You want to help, but it’s not always clear how. Therapy can be a safe, supportive place to start. I work with children ages 3–10 and their families to explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Through play and connection, we build understanding, improve communication, and teach coping skills so kids feel more confident and supported.

From the outside, your life looks put together. Careers are steady, responsibilities handled, and everything seems “fine.” But at home, conversations feel tense, disagreements repeat, and one person often feels unheard while the other feels criticized or shut down. Whether it’s between partners or within your family, the emotional distance grows — even though everyone is trying and genuinely cares. Many high-functioning couples and families I work with experience this hidden stress daily, feeling like connection is slipping despite their best efforts.

We learn to keep moving, care for others, show up, and push through while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted underneath it all. I created Haven of the Sea to be a space where children, individuals, and families can feel supported through life transitions, trauma, parenting challenges, and emotional experiences that can sometimes feel unexpected and hard to put into words. My goals in session is to provide an opportunity for us to slow down so that you can feel understood and empowered to improve your quality of life.

The clients I work best with are those ready to seriously and deeply engage in the process of growth. This process is not easy. It requires a commitment to change, a commitment to the uncomfortable, and a commitment to yourself. While the change process requires much, the benefits you will gain far outweigh the effort you put into it. In our work, we will address psychological distress while also strengthening the skills and traits that make you who you are. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, therapy becomes a space to confront internal and external barriers and cultivate lasting change.

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.
