I believe that we are primarily social beings and that our relationships, past and present, continuously impact our growth as individuals. Humans are highly resilient, and we tend to persevere through negative experiences. However, certain relationships can have long-lasting negative consequences on how we see ourselves and engage with the people in our lives. When this happens, people often find themselves in a dysfunctional and frustrating pattern of maladaptive thinking and behavior that results in persistent interpersonal struggles.

I help people because I make it possible for them to bring their issues and concerns into the therapy session in order to resolve these problems in the treatment. Whatever we accomplish in this task carries over to the client's outside life and they become more successful.

I also train other therapists and I was cited as a supervisor of excellence by the California Psychological Association.

After starting my own family I became passionate about supporting sensitive, people-pleasing women who are trying to maintain a healthy work/life balance and still leave room for self-care and boundary management.

The focus of my work with clients centers around exploring and setting goals, assertive communication training and self-esteem building. I’m on a mission to help my clients feel empowered and connected to their authentic selves.

I am a psychologist in private practice for over 20 years. The people I see struggle with depression, anxiety, loss, troubling behavior, and relationship problems. I strive to be warm and empathic and provide a space where people can work through past painful experiences and develop stronger coping skills and healthier patterns of relating to others. I help to identify sources of hope and meaning that help cope with stressful circumstances. Psychotherapy can help bring about a greater sense of emotional freedom, self esteem, and more satisfying relationships.

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.
