Parenting Therapists in Reno, NV
My goal for each client is to help them get un-stuck. Whether you are a teenager struggling with self-esteem and depression, an adult struggling with anxiety and negative self-talk seeping in from past relationships, or a family struggling with parenting issues, poor communication, problem behaviors, and environmental stressors, I believe my background and training are well suited to assist in positively affecting change. I have experience as both an inpatient and outpatient therapist and feel the combination of these two worlds gives me a unique set of skills to serve you.

One of the most courageous things we can do is begin to take steps in understanding our own story. As a therapist, I want to help in guiding families and individuals in finding their ability to overcome life's trials. I stem from a client centered approach emphasizing the importance of a caring and trusting relationship between the therapist and the clients' to help create a healing environment.

Parenting is rewarding, but it's also one of the hardest jobs. Navigating the responsibilities of managing a household with children can cause parents to feel overwhelmed and stressed. For working parents, things get even more complex. Overseeing department operations can create anxiety for executive level professionals. Trying to juggle one's familial and professional roles can produce extreme burn out. I help executive level parents who are at risk of falling into the self-sacrificing pattern of overextending recover from emotional bankruptcy, enhance the connection with their children and improve their overall quality of life.

I also hold certifications in EMDR, custody evaluations, and co- parent counseling.
You know the type of therapists they show on TV or in the movies? The therapists who only ask you, “how does that make you feel?” and only speak in dull voices that would make anyone fall asleep? I can assure you – I am definitely not that type of therapist! I am personable, genuine, and laid-back. My style is warm and depth-oriented. I think it is essential to offer a space where you can feel safe to be honest about what is happening in your life. Whether you’re dealing with relationship issues, anxiety, depression or struggling with a life transition, it is the relationship between you and me that leads to insight and healing.

My specialties include anxiety, depression, ADHD, LGBTQ+, trauma and PTSD, neurodivergent, behavioral issues, First Responders, Veterans, and parenting.
(I currently have some limited immediate openings!) Counseling is a way to discover how we can live with our past, live in the present, and face an uncertain future daily. Most of us, given the time and information, and someone to talk with, could figure out how to manage the things that are challenging for us. Counseling helps us learn how to manage our emotions and find ways to face daily challenges. Through counseling we can learn the skills to manage our strong emotions, as well as have empathy for ourselves and others in dealing with tough life situations. I especially like supporting young children and their parents.

Trauma resolution, Parent Coaching, (parents of struggling teens), and Recovery work of all kinds are the primary focus of my work.
Life can be messy and the struggle can leave us in a place where it is hard to breath, feel safe, trust, relax, and generally enjoy life. At the root of this is the longing for safe loving relationships. For 35 years my life’s work has been helping people make sense of their emotions in order to enjoy their relationships. Relationships can energize us; they can infuse us with hope, enjoyment, and a sense of purpose and meaning. Healing means sleeping well, being less reactive, feeling the good stuff again, and enjoying our relationships.

I became a parent shortly before the pandemic began.
I am passionate about supporting adults and couples coping with issues related to anxiety, relationships, trauma, loss, fertility, pregnancy, birth, and parenting. Our generational stories, trauma histories, social and cultural experiences, and personal goals all inform how we find ourselves in times of transition and impact how we cope. Whatever you find yourself carrying, there is time and space for you to pause and fortify before stepping forward on your path. It's an honor to share that space with you.

My ideal client is motivated for change, open to new challenges, and is willing to consider new ideas. Sometimes this is the individual who presents for services, other times this is a concerned parent or caregiver who is seeking out help for a child or teen and who is looking for professional guidance.

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.
