I work with my clients to provide much needed mindfulness and coping skills in order to combat day to day stressors. We work together to create achievable goals and then utilize emotion regulation and practical problem solving skills in order to obtain these goals. When working with adolescents, it is also important to provide support to school personnel and families in order to see gains in treatment. Many of my clients have struggled with self-harm and issues with self-acceptance. I help to provide healing and validation that is needed in order to finally be free of these struggles.

The suffering we experience is so personal we tend not to want to share it. How can we open up about something that shakes us so? How can we bring someone into our pain? Psychotherapy, as I practice, is a gentle and respectful way that you can begin to approach changing those things that burden you. I provide a safe, trusting relationship where you are able to learn to comfortably live life again.

This solution oriented therapy works well for marital, family, parent-child, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and phase of life issues.
I will be offering periodic updates. I hope that this will be helpful to you and familiarize you with my thinking. For divorcing parents: Make sure your children know you are divorcing each other and not them. Be dependable - visit when you say you will. Keep your children out of the middle - argue in private. Take your time introducing someone new or living with someone. When possible maintain connections with extended family. Work on yourself so you are the best parent you can be. Children take time to adjust. There may be a delay before they discover feelings about the divorce.

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.
