Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs last? Maybe you are just not feeling like yourself. Perhaps you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how you are supposed to manage all the things on your plate. Pushing away your own needs and living in survival mode can lead to long term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

Working from a client-centered approach I acknowledge that every person has their own unique set of experiences. Rather than utilizing a single methodology I follow an integrative approach to draw at tools, philosophies and evidence based interventions from a variety of methodologies to support individuals, couples and families as they navigate their past, present and future. I value sharing a comfortable and judgement free space for all people.

Together we tackle the various stumbling blocks that sometimes arise on life’s journey in order to help them feel more calm, more connected, more joyful and have a renewed sense of purpose. We often find clarity and deeper understanding of where they've been, where they're going and who they want to be on the journey.

Whether it is from parenting, work, school, life, or a combination of them all, I know how hard it can be when things just feel like they keep piling up with no end in sight.

What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
