Parenting Coach- Parenting is one of the most difficult and rewarding jobs you will ever have! But when you are trying to parent a child with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, Autism or a child with no diagnosis that is particularly challenging it is exhausting!

Overwhelmed with parenthood? Struggling to understand your child’s behavior? Dealing with postpartum depression? You probably imagined parenthood looking quite different. There is no easy fix for managing anxiety surrounding pregnancy, the postpartum period, or infant/early childhood challenges.

Whether that baby is an infant, toddler, or school-aged, your goal is to get to the root of the struggle - and ensure a successful & happy future.

Welcome! My passion as a therapist is rooted in helping others recognize and fulfill their potential, while navigating life’s inevitable challenges. I view going to therapy as a chance to be “selfish” in a world where we are often consumed with fulfilling obligations outside of ourselves. Therapy is an opportunity for clients to invest in themselves, take time to process their feelings, and reflect upon events in their lives. My approach as a therapist leans heavily on evidence based practices, and is tailored towards the individual needs of each client.

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are -Joseph Campbell. Together, we can really hone in on what it is you are wanting for yourself and finding a path forward, that best suites you. Often, the work is getting back in touch with your Self in a deeper way—like re-calibrating your inner compass. My understanding of counseling comes from holistic, somatic and trauma-informed approaches that incorporate mind, body, and soul such as Jungian, IFS and transpersonal. Sex therapy is also a very important part of the work I do. Check out my website blog to learn more details about how I work

If you are wondering about how you or your child best learns and functions at home, school, work or friendships, then a neuropsychological evaluation may help you adjust the environment, processes, or relationships that are blocking optimal performance. Working together, we develop a set of questions to answer, for example, "How should my child be taught?" "Why do I have difficulty focusing on my work?" or "Why does my child melt down?" then, through interview, testing, and consulting, we can develop a deep understanding of mental, physical, and emotional strengths and weaknesses that can inform an effective treatment plan.
