Becoming a parent is often unexpectedly difficult. If you find yourself struggling with any part of the journey, fertility challenges, pregnancy complications or loss, I am available to help you navigate these challenges. If you or your partner delivered a baby preterm and are struggling with the scary challenges and emotions of a NICU parent, I have been there too, delivering my first child at 25 weeks, and my second at 35 weeks, I can help you understand the unique emotional challenges and hurdles that come with an early birth and I can help guide you through it.

Preparing for and starting a family is one of the biggest transitions you will make in your lifetime. Sometime this period of transition does not go as planned and it can feel overwhelming, filled with anxiety, grief, and isolation. Can you relate to this but find yourself pretending like everything is ok? Do you feel alone in your struggles? It can feel liberating to seek help and healing to share your story in a safe environment.

I specialize in PTSD, Anxiety, Depression and Attachment concerns. The criteria for many of these diagnoses, include impulsiveness, relationship challenges, and certain aspects of ADHD. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, has many effects on our minds and bodies. You may have questions or concerns, finding your pathway to peace and contentment. I believe that comes from an understanding of what has happened to you during certain points in your life and how your mind and body has survived. The great philosopher Socrates said "Know Thyself", and good therapy helps you to do just that.

You feel like anxiety, insecurity, and fear can jump into the driver's seat and take over at any moment. You can't imagine a time when you don't feel like you're faking it until you make it.

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.
