I am also a Certified Youth Mental Health Specialist and use this in parenting sessions.
My main focus is on the importance of emotional wellbeing. I believe that everyone experiences difficulties in their lives and see the counseling office as a space for clients to express and normalize difficult feelings in a safe environment. I believe that people have all of the components for a happy and healthy life but sometimes need help processing and navigating through their feelings and experiences to learn new and more effective ways to cope. I operate through the Polyvagal Theory lens to assess emotional regulation and work to stabilize and co-regulate clients as this is essential to healing.

Throughout this time I've helped individuals cope with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and loss, as well as managing stress related to work, family dynamics and parenting, among many other concerns.
While therapy is far more openly accepted than before, it can often still feel intimidating as many people are still not sure what to expect. From my view- therapy is really going to be what each individual person wants to make of it. My goal in is to help determine what is most important to you and work together to create a realistic plan to help you achieve the changes you want to see.

Areas of treatment competency: anxiety, depression, parenting support, surviving childhood sexual abuse/assault, surviving adult domestic violence and/or abuse, alcohol/drug abuse and addiction/family support, co-dependency, mood disorder, impulse-control, post-partum issues and PTSD.
During my clinical experience as a therapist I have had the opportunity to work with many different populations of people, often walking alongside them while experiencing a range of life circumstances. People experiencing the lowest of lows while others having found peace in forgiveness of the past. One of the most impressive characteristics that many of the brave people I have met share is that of perseverance. My desire is to encourage perseverance in the face of difficulty which fosters wisdom and maturity within our therapeutic relationship, while gathering new and more sustainable coping skills for continued stability.

I am passionate about working with anxiety, life transitions, depression, trauma, stress, parenting, pregnancy and postpartum.
It often feels like life just won’t slow down. There are spiraling thoughts you can’t step away from. There are feelings of isolation & the idea that you need to do everything yourself. There are overwhelming feelings in new phases of life, such as graduation, moving, or parenthood, that seem unending. These experiences are common & you’re not alone in them. Counseling is a collaborative & judgment free space to process thoughts, feelings & behaviors. I’ll walk alongside you to help deepen your personal insight, change unhelpful thought patterns & learn new skills.

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.
