I have experience working with clients on crisis stabilization, depression, anxiety, psychosis, autism, PTSD/trauma, anger management, life transition, terminal illnesses, divorce, sexual assault victims, parenting and gender issues.
Do you ever forget how you got to work? Is life overwhelming, but you have no one to talk to? Do you hold it in, thinking it will go away? Some time in your life, you may be faced with the analogy of “your life vs. a bottle of soda.” There may be things shaken or flipped upside down in your life and you may want to explode. Knowing what happens to a bottle of soda & knowing people react differently, everyone’s version of “exploding” may come in various forms. As a therapist, I strive to find ways to turn your impairments into functionalities. Regarding the soda analogy, let’s “relieve pressure, open diligently, & consume slowly.”

From intimacy to birth, and postpartum beyond, our reproductive experiences have the potential to radically transform our lives. Around the world, seasons of creating, tending to, expecting, and/or grieving life are as universal as they are unique. As a survivor and researcher of sexual and perinatal trauma, I also understand the unanticipated challenges that can accompany the processes of conception, birth-giving, parenting and relating with our loved ones. It is a true privilege and pleasure to support you in reclaiming your agency as you forge new ways forward with authenticity and meaning.

We have all been there, contemplating the next move and where to steer ourselves during life transitions (i.e., such as going off to school, getting married, having children, or end of life decisions). You are probably feeling lost and overwhelmed. Life inevitability is a series of transitions and often ones with minimal ceremony or void of an instruction manual on how to proceed. In my years working as a therapist, I have adopted an existential and narrative approach in helping others traverse these life transitions. Much of our therapeutic work would be focused on developing the courage to author the life you wish to have.

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.
