Therapeutic approaches

Mary draws from approaches with strong evidence for family and parent-child work:
  • Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) — a structured, evidence-based program that coaches parents in real time to strengthen the parent-child relationship and address behavioral challenges
  • Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) — a problem-focused approach to reducing family conflict and improving relational functioning
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — supporting individual adults in managing anxiety and the stress of family and parenting challenges

What to Expect

Mary’s practice is family-centered at its core. Whether she is working with a parent and young child in a PCIT format, facilitating family sessions, or meeting with an individual adult, she keeps the broader relational system in view. Her sessions are structured, skill-building, and encouraging — she celebrates progress while also helping clients navigate setbacks. Families who work with Mary often describe a meaningful shift in how they relate to one another, even relatively early in treatment.
