Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE).
Is it hard to turn off your worries? Are your thoughts intrusive and distressing? Do you feel they control you? Everyone worries at some point, of course, but it’s when the thoughts won’t go away, or you find yourself stuck in them, I can help you. Having anxiety isn’t a hopeless situation (no matter what your head may be telling you.) Far from it. My specialties and expertise are focused on treating adults and children who have anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive spectrum disorders, are going through life transitions (like life after divorce), or who would like help with their parenting skills.

I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, unmanaged stress, postpartum mental health, and parenting.
Have you lost your sense of self? Do you find yourself feeling numb or just "going through the motions" of life? Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed with anxiety or stress? Are you someone that can usually keep it all together, but lately you've been finding yourself struggling to keep your head above water? You are not alone, and things can get better. Whether it was the birth of a new child, a recent loss of a relationship, a shift at work, childhood trauma, or some combination of stressors I work with my clients to explore what is going on beneath the surface to discover a path forward, toward purpose, peace and healing.

I can help you by offering parenting support and strategies that will help make positive and lasting changes for you and your family.
Family dynamics can be one of the biggest challenges we face, and one of the most difficult things in our lives to manage. Relationships are hard, both with partners and with children. Do you find that your children sometimes feel like more of a burden than a joy? Are you finding your child's behaviors challenging or unmanageable? Maybe something is going on with your child that is more than "just a phase." Is parenting with your partner often stressful? Do you feel like you're not being heard and your relationship is unsatisfying? If you find that you are overwhelmed or consistently frustrated, maybe you need some support.

I have the lived experience of being an adoptee and adoptive parent, and understand the deep impact of loss and trauma on others.
The journey of understanding who we really are and who we are meant to be can feel daunting. Yet it is where we will experience the depths of joy and beauty that life has to offer. As a counselor, I am empathetic, present and attuned to who you are. Sometimes it may mean sifting through painful experiences when you have been hurt, experienced trauma or not been able to truly grieve. In the therapeutic relationship we will work to explore those experiences together.

Parenting is tough, but your inner narrative doesn't have to be.
You’re great at pretending things are fine, that you’re managing the workload that comes with being a mom and a partner. But underneath, you feel like you can’t do anything right. You know you deserve time off but this feels like yet another responsibility. You have a pattern of prioritizing others over yourself and while you acknowledge this needs to change, it feels impossible to have your voice be heard. This leaves you feeling on edge and like you could explode in rage or burst into tears the next time you hear your name called. You love your family and you also desperately want things to change.

Does is feel like life is a treadmill and you're going over and over the same territory but never getting anywhere?
Whether it's an intimate relationship that is stuck on the same issues, an addictive behavior that you can't seem to break out of, or a neurotic pattern of depression or anxiety that robes life of its joy, sometimes life can be discouraging, and trying harder in the same way brings only more frustration.

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.
