Longmont, CO 80501
I primarily work with parents and family members of children and adults that are transgender. There is a significant amount of advocacy and care that families provide to successfully support transgender individuals and they often need a sounding board from someone who has been there too. As a parent, we are often the voice and advocates of our kids until they are old enough to be their own. I help families navigate resources for their child while also taking care of themselves.

Thanks for checking in with yourself and for tending to those places in your heart and life that are feeling tender, vulnerable, or unmanageable.

With very young children (ages 0-2), the work always includes the parent, who is often working through their own postpartum anxiety or depression.
School. Friendships. Play. Sleep. Family. These are the tasks of childhood. Often when our young children are struggling, we are told to wait, that they will grow out of it or that this phase will pass on its own. Unfortunately that can lead to older children who continue to struggle, only on a bigger stage. We are seeing school avoidance, irritability, isolation, and social difficulties starting at younger and younger ages.

Solution-Focused, CBT and Narrative approaches can get to positive outcomes for those in relationships including couples counseling, single parenting, and blended families.
I know that children and teens have strengths along with concerning risk factors that may need attention.

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.
