Psychotherapy can be a deeply nourishing gift to allow oneself. It is valuable to afford ourselves the time and space to be heard, seen, and understood. It can also be an opportunity to do the inner work and skill building that is necessary for us to unfold toward our truest potential. In times of crisis therapy can be a life line, keeping us connected to a light in the dark. Grounded in psychodynamic, somatic and intersubjective theories Michelle's work investigates the relationship between emotion, body and psyche. Issues related to relationships, parenting, trauma, and more may be explored.

I am a psychologist with over thirty years experience treating childhood disorders. My experience has been that early childhood therapy and parent-training are most effective, and emotional healing occurs most readily, when parent and child are seen together. Focus during, and between sessions, involves teaching of play skills and modeling of effective limit setting. For older children, self modulation of behavior is a primary objective. Utilizing these techniques, I have successfully treated anxiety problems (such as selective mutism), depressive symptoms, and developmental disorders (such as Aspergers Syndrome).

Some of the conflicts that we all most commonly experience, for example are: marital, premarital and parenting issues, death and dying, anxiety, depression, "feeling stuck", sexuality, intimacy, incest and sexual abuse, chronic illness and/or pain, post traumatic stress disorders, and school based problems, among others.
My practice, although eclectic, is deeply rooted in a family systems approach incorporating the exploration of the individual's roles and behaviors from both the past and present that influence various current and/or repetitive unwanted behaviors. My belief in working through the therapeutic process, by implementing a systems modality, is to work with clients to help them in the process of change for a more positive, productive and healthier life. I treat families, couples, individuals, children and groups as needed in a compassionate and caring environment to address many of the aforementioned issues.

You want to get to a place where you feel more confident as a parent.
You’ve been struggling to figure out what is going on with your child. Between constant meltdowns at home or calls from school, something is happening with your child and you need to figure out how to help them. As a parent, you feel guilty that you can’t quite figure out what to do, even after being up all night scouring the internet for some new advice on how to help them. Maybe you’re wondering if you stopped working then you'd have more time for everything—your partner, child, and even for yourself. Or maybe you’re feeling guilty that you want to go back to work to be around other adults for a change.

We seek psychological guidance when life doesn't go the way we think it should or want. Sadness, fear, anxiety, anger and confusion, often cloud our hearts and minds. We tell ourselves what should be, not how it is. This build-up of unsaid feelings, pressures and negative thoughts, commonly experienced as self-judgment, keeps us from living a joyful, balanced life. The Individual and Group therapies I've designed are dedicated toward mindful awareness of, and ease with life's daily challenges. I seek to create safety and freedom for exploration of your unique truth in body, mind and soul.

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.
