Whether your child or you as a parent are valiantly facing anxiety, sensory concerns, overwhelming stress, or the pressures of perfectionism, I am here to help.
Being a parent is one of the most beautiful, rewarding, even amazing gifts of this life. Yet, it is also one of the most difficult, exhausting, and worrisome tasks given to us. Though we as parents often sacrifice and work diligently for the good of our children, sometimes our relationships with them can be strained while they struggle with anxiety, sensory concerns, overwhelming stress, or perfectionism. We as parents often feel deeply for them, but don't always know how to help. What's more, sometimes we are suffering from those same things without support of our own.

I am an Autistic, ADHD, queer, and biracial therapist that is passionate about celebrating intersectional diversity with clients. Living in a world where neurodiversity, gender, sexuality, and multiculturalism are still heavily misunderstood can be an incredibly alienating, painful, and confusing experience. Discovering, communicating, and advocating for accommodations, needs, passions, and making sense of your life is among my favorite parts of working with clients. When we are able to make meaning in life and identify what is important to us, we can use these aspects to guide our behavior toward becoming the person we want to be.

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.
