Whether you are facing the challenges of parenting or have a teen trying to navigate the world, I can help.
I believe everyone could use someone to talk to. If you find yourself struggling with life, family, school, grief or a life transition, allow me to be the person to listen and help you find your way through these obstacles. Grief, stress management, goal setting, anxiety, depression, and relationships are my areas of focus. The approaches I use for these concerns are evidence-based and designed to be highly effective. Noticeable results occur when CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Family Systems, Strength-Based, Grief Counseling or Mindfulness techniques are used in our sessions.

Welcome! I am an Art Therapist, Play Therapist, and Licensed Professional Counselor that specializes in work with children, adolescents, college students, parents, and families. I provide a safe space to release difficult emotions, look carefully at conflict, and provide tools to enhance family connection and inner wisdom.

I always incorporate family into my work with children but also see parents individually to improve their parenting skills and explore their own needs.
I enjoy working with children with anxiety, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders. My goal is always to create a warm, fun environment that children enjoy and to model skills that are practical to take out of the office and use at home. I use a combination of ABA and CBT techniques based on the needs of the child and family. I'm also skilled in working with young adults on the autism spectrum on social/self-management skills and women in the pregnancy and postpartum stages of their lives. As a mother and parent myself, I am particularly honored to hold space for women navigating the challenges of pregnancy and new parenthood.

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.
