As a Therapist, I play a risky role in my client's life. I have the potential to become another fearful problematic relationship, which is, in most cases, the repetitive maladaptive pattern of functioning that causes clients to find themselves in tuff situations. I help people work on changing behaviors and deal with grief, anxiety, anger, and depression in a non-damaging approach to preserve my client's self-esteem and effectively make necessary changes. My goal of treatment is to help you protect your peace and learn what emotions are telling you to do.

I view persons as made up of emotions, thoughts, relationships, biology, and our spiritual selves. Consequently, I first help you stabilize by making necessary changes in behavior. Medical or neurological contributions and possible nutritional deficiencies are examined. I address any distorted thinking that is contributing to your emotional pain. If systems in your life (family, work, school) are a factor, they are also addressed. Finally, we work with the larger questions of existence (spiritual issues, issues of purpose/ meaning), which are all vital to mental health. All areas are dealt with from a solid grounding in scientific literature and research.

People need different things in their lives and when they come to therapy they can expect a calm, quiet atmosphere and a place where they can express themselves in ways that they may have never felt safe enough to do so. There are so many challenges in life and individuals should take pride in recognizing that it takes strength to reach out for guidance.

I believe that everything we do and are as people makes sense when we understand the context of our lives. Every area of one’s life affects another in some way, shape, or form. Therefore, I find it quite helpful to explore the areas of physical, emotional, and other areas of health to put all the pieces together to make a complete puzzle picture. With an accurate picture, it may feel as though things begin to “click” and “make sense.” With an accurate framework, we can begin to address the root of the issues you might be experiencing at the pace that you are comfortable with so that foundational progress can take place.

It is important to have a support system in place as we manage these changes. During our work together I will support you as you determine what path you would like to take in life.

Families I meet are confronting obstacles related to stress, anxiety, depression, identity, self esteem, and behavior. These challenges are taxing for one person, impacting our family and personal relationships. Many carry this burden, seeking an opportunity to set them and forget them, searching for a new way to live. Hope is found in the family’s inner strength to grow and adapt, even as our roles and identities change. Let’s tap into your power to negotiate the ups and downs of relationships, mental health, and transitions.

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.
