I have been in practice as a psychologist for many years and have helped adults presenting with different types of symptoms, issues and/or concerns. I treated individuals presenting with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, anxiety, adjustment and relationship difficulties, to name a few. I taught psychology students in doctoral level programs about helping individuals traumatized by violence and/or by other traumatic events. I also taught students how to help individuals dealing with stress, anxiety and/or depression related to medical conditions.

Welcome to that wonderful stage of parenting where your child's mere existence shines a big, stadium light on your repressed attachment trauma. Though hardly anybody will show it or broadcast it, most of us have attachment wounds we’ve been working to avoid our whole entire lives. And then we have kids. And the game of avoidance is OVER. Because the truth is, kids have a way of chasing us down with everything we've always wanted to run from. We have two choices when this happens. We can confront it and resolve it through the work of reparenting and relational healing, or we can scapegoat these wounds to our children.

Welcome! I love working with parents through pregnancy, perinatal/postpartum, and early childhood stages. I often hear similar questions, whose needs do I attend to first? Is this behavior from my child typical or something more concerning? Should I talk about the trauma with my child or could that make it worse? Am I doing this parenting thing right? Parenting is incredibly hard and truthfully, there is no single right way to parent. But you don’t have to sit with those thoughts or questions alone; together we can explore the patterns and experiences of your family, ask questions, and identify what you value most as a parent.

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.
