Is your life similar to any of these past clients I have had? 1) A woman being "beat down" at work by her superiors and the work environment has become impossible for her; 2) Couples where one of the spouses had a lengthy affair; 3) A married person who realizes that his/her parents will not accept the new spouse; 4) A messy step-parenting situation; 5) A woman wanting to reconcile with her father; 6) A couple where one of the parties became addicted to pain medication and was in a treatment center for several months; 7) A person who realized on the honeymoon that he/she had made a mistake. Now what should happen?

I have been in private practice for 30 years, assisting clients with a variety of issues: depression and bipolar, substance abuse, couples and their struggles, including parenting and helping children and adolescents. I take very seriously the issues that bring clients to counseling. However, I want to strike a balance between helping clients to not only resolve their problems, but I encourage clients to bring their sense of humor, as I want the experience to be pleasurable.

My areas of focus include trauma, high-conflict relationships, parenting, and grief.
Things seem dark; you may be overwhelmed but you're not alone. I aim to create an environment where hope is renewed and healing can occur. Sometimes it takes reaching the point of desperation to take this leap into new and unknown territory. Many clients find me when they believe they have tried everything, nothing seems to have worked, and they are ready to give up. I firmly believe healing is always possible, no matter the circumstances or depth of trauma, and there is resilience and courage within us all, waiting to be uncovered. My specialized trainings include: Gottman Level 1 & 2, Brainspotting Level 1, TBRI.

The purpose of psychotherapy is to support clients in a collaborative way to help remove barriers and roadblocks that may prevent them from living the life they envision. Ultimately, every person wants to be loved, to be heard, to be understood, leading to a more satisfying and meaningful life.

Parenting Therapists

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.
