I love working with children and families. I want to have clear communication with guardians while also creating a safe space that allows children to express themselves with a degree of age-appropriate privacy. I work with children to identify their emotions, learn their emotional triggers, and build a toolkit of coping skills. I also work with you as guardian to build plans of action at home and provide psychoeducation that is research backed so that you feel informed and confident in your parenting. I also recognize that as your family grows and changes you may find it helpful to reach out for support for yourself.

“Fix it.” That is what everyone wants to do and should when they are struggling with what they don’t like about their lives. I will do my best to help you navigate whatever is problematic and help you use the skills and resources you have and then help you figure out the ones you don’t to get things handled in a way that works for you. I love being a part of people’s journey and truly enjoy seeing people feel better about themselves and the way they interact with the world all from what they have themselves done to make that happen. I tend to be conservative in my approach, but not judgmental.

Sometimes we have lived in pain for many years. As indecision, fear and dissatisfaction become part of our regular experience, we start to believe that this may be as good as it gets. Other times, life events may cause very sudden feelings of loss, sadness, anger or anxiety that can be profound. It can be disorienting, frightening and immobilizing when faced with the intensity of these emotions. Whether your pain has been lifelong or sudden, you do not have to continue to feel overwhelmed, unfulfilled or at a loss for how to move forward. One of the most important investments you can make is an individualized psychotherapy.

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.
