I work with women and specifically specialize in perinatal/postpartum depression/anxiety, OCD, rage, birth trauma, grief/loss (miscarriage, infertility, stillbirth), and parenting support.
I understand that one of the most difficult steps to overcome is the first step and acknowledging that you need more support in order to overcome or learn to cope with obstacles in your life. I believe there are many different ways to do that. I provide a driven/holistic approach in my work and at this time work exclusively with the perinatal population.

The majority of us experience difficulties in our lives, but the experiences themselves can be very personal and unique. The key principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (the impact that our feelings, thoughts, and actions have on each other) can be life changing when embraced. CBT teaches us to be better stewards of ourselves and allows us to take charge of feeling better and maintaining our improvements after we've achieved them with our changed perspective and skill set. I’m an approachable professional who can help. I encourage you to call, text, or email me to see if we may be a good fit for your change process.

You feel like you might never trust again. Your most intimate partner betrayed you and you are stuck wondering how you will recover. You do not have to navigate the messiness of infidelity alone. Or maybe you have suffered an unspeakable loss. You have tried to navigating the storms of healing alone & feel stuck. Sometimes our emotions are too big to feel alone. You are ready to feel empowered, reconnected to yourself. Maybe you are a mom who has lost herself in the roles of motherhood, craving a moment of feeling like yourself again. Guilt, fatigue, worry, sadness, anger, sometimes it is too much to feel.

When we are out of balance in mind, body, or spirit, the overall effect is that we don’t feel well. We become plagued by knowing something is wrong, but perhaps do not know exactly what that is, how we got there, or how to begin changing it. As the imbalance worsens, so does our discomfort, and we begin to suffer the effects of emotional dis-ease and physical disease. An imbalance commonly presents itself (for example) as anxiety or depression. When a struggle wages in the mind, its effects are often felt throughout the body in the form of fatigue, distractability, digestive problems, muscle tension, chronic pain, and more.

It is through this therapeutic relationship that I believe true healing can begin. I hope to work together with my clients to find solutions and set goals that best meet the outcomes they are looking to achieve.

Instead of describing my ideal client, I'll disclose that I tend to be the ideal therapist for Type A personalities/ perfectionists. Those who have achieved great professional/ academic success are coming to see me because those trusted skills don't deliver the same success in other areas of life, often affecting their relationships and causing distress during the early postpartum period. Suppose you value direct communication, are willing to engage in therapy on the regular, and are ready to unlearn old stuff and the story about yourself. In that case, I think you should reach out so we can further discuss our availability.

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.
