I have been helping individuals address various issues related to parenting, grief, blended families, co-parenting, anxiety, trauma and academic and behavioral issues.
I have a passion for working with children, but also work with teens and adult. I have been helping children in both school and in private and non-profit settings for many years. I have worked with children in foster care and with adoptive families. In addition, I help individuals address various issues related to parenting struggles that go alongside raising children. I have provided counseling to individuals, couples and families for 25+ years. Giving a person the tools to cope and deal with what they are facing, and watching them be successful in their personal lives and excel in their future endeavors is incredibly fulfilling.

I'm here to help you through life's distressing events including: Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship issues, grief/loss, physical/sexual abuse, gender identity, and parenting issues.
Life can be overwhelming at times and everybody needs somebody! You do not have to handle the stress and issues of life alone. If you are feeling lost, confused, hopeless, helpless or just need some support working on some issues, you can contact me. I enjoy working with adolescence, adults, and the elderly population. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to restore, recognize, and resolve the challenges in your life. We will uncover long-standing negative behaviors/thoughts that may be holding you back from enjoying a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Although I spend a lot of time conducting psychological assessments, I truly enjoy the time I get to spend as a therapist walking through life with my clients. At one point in time or another, all of us struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, big-emotions and overall ineffectiveness in our life. In therapy, we not only spend time discussing ongoing issues and current difficulties, but we also focus on themes in our lives and the ways that our thinking patterns can inhibit our ability to create the unique life that we want to live.

I have a strong history of working with individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and/or loss.

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.
