With the right tools, I believe that couples can address any issue; from the division of household labor and parenting, to in-laws, finances and affair recovery.
Are you and your partner struggling to communicate? Does it feel like the same recurring arguments without any resolution? Has conflict created distance in your relationship? As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I help couples develop the tools needed to improve communication and deepen understanding in their relationship. Practical feedback and collaboration are essential in my work with couples. I utilize the Gottman method to provide couples with science based tools that extend beyond the therapy room.

Life is tough and can sometimes be overwhelming. Working all day and then coming home to your second job as a parent. Your child or teen is arguing with you about homework, grades, and social media! Dealing with child or teen tantrums, while trying to get dinner on the table. Does this sound familiar? What about struggling with body image, managing relationships and emotions, and worrying about societal pressures? Oftentimes we try to hold it all together, but what happens when we can’t. Adults and adolescents frequently are challenged with the same obstacles, called LIFE. One of the greatest gifts we can provide to someone is help!

I have worked with both individuals as well as parents and their child(ren) to help with behavior management, improve their parenting skills and family functioning.
We’ve all faced painful and challenging situations in life. Constant struggles, relationship issues, coping with parenting challenges, guilt, dealing with memories we wish we didn’t have. I value supporting individuals through these life transitions and take into account the cultural and individual differences in a client’s circumstance. I see therapy as an opportunity to work toward growth, self-discovery and healing.

Are you frustrated by your child's behavior? Children communicate through behavior. Exploring the meaning of challenging behaviors can help identify obstacles that may be preventing a child from expressing and managing strong feelings, from developing meaningful/effective relationships, and from coping with stress. The clients I typically see are resilient and want things to improve. This can mean different things I am here to help you determine how best to make this happen. I see working with the family, as well as the child, as critically important.

As a mother, I understand every parent’s desire to raise healthy and resilient children.
Families living with the challenges of ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and learning differences often struggle to find appropriate evaluations and interventions for children, teens, and young adults. You often feel alone and that no one experiences what you're going through. You're ready to understand WHY your child is (or you are) having difficulties, and to get tools and strategies needed for lasting improvement. As a psychologist, I use a holistic approach to assess the different factors that cause challenges for neurodiverse individuals. It's not just about the child, but the whole child AND the whole family.

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.
