I have experience working with children, teens, families and families of divorce, couples, and assisted with improving parenting techniques.
"To get thru the hardest journey, we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping" As your counselor my aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment where we can collaborate and work together at your own pace to help you reach your goals. Sometimes our past hurts and thoughts come with us like a friend we've told to "get lost", however everywhere we look it's there. If the past continues to be in your present I can help. If you have difficulty expressing your thoughts and emotions, I can help. If you're stuck, I can help. All it takes is one phone call.

I work most frequently with those who may be experiencing anxiety, work stress/changes, relationship issues, divorce, grief and loss, traumatic experiences, military lifestyle challenges, parenting/co-parenting struggles, or women's issues. These situations can make one feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed, angry, stressed, hopeless, or alone, making everyday life tasks even harder. It's not a sign of weakness to ask for help and I look forward to the opportunity to help you feel more like yourself again.

As a veteran, wife of a retired service member, and a parent, I am very familiar with the military way of life.
Life can be challenging at times and healthy coping skills are vital to being able to navigate through life and manage daily issues and problems effectively. Many people see seeking therapy as an admission of weakness. I believe that one of the bravest things someone can do is realize that they cannot face everything alone and to ask for help. Therapy doesn't have to be always a painful experience. If you want to achieve personal growth and healing, then it is time to call me for help. My ideal client is someone who is actively seeking to get healthy and willing to put in the effort necessary to try and accomplish it.

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.
