Are you searching for ways to show up more joyfully and authentically in your life? Does something feel a little "off," and you wish there was a place where you could sort it out and find a way to feel better? You may be struggling with depression, anger, or anxiety. You might seem fine on the outside, but inside you feel disconnected, a little lonely, or falling just short of where you'd like to be in your life. Although it might be more of a nagging feeling, you might also have some history with workplace, family, or religious trauma, parenting/step-parenting, chronic pain or illness, or identity/existential concerns.

If you're struggling with constant overwhelming thoughts pertaining to your body image, anxious patterns, eating habits, relationships dynamics, parenting, or an unsettling and scary event(s) let's take a closer look and set you on a path for contentment, relief, and emotional freedom so each day feels a little less daunting and a little more bright.
It's another day of the same thing, same unwanted negative self-talk, another day of what if's or what's next, and you hate the thought of the next day being a repeat yet the cycle continues anyways. Stuck. Burnt out. Drained in every sense of the word. It's gotten to be too much and you're sure you want more out of your life than this. I help individuals 16 and up who feel stuck in their unhelpful thinking patterns and are looking for a change. I also see individuals with trauma utilizing Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) with eye movements and limited talking to erase and replace distressful images and sensations.

Via individual/family therapy, I work with children/adolescents/adults with MH, addiction, trauma, abuse, attachment, parenting, family/relationship issues, foster care, child protection, adoption, divorce, blended families, family reunification, & emotional/behavioral dysregulation.
I've worked with individuals & families via CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)/trauma focused therapy, family systems therapy, & play therapy for a variety of issues such as MH & addiction since 1998. I adjust/integrate therapeutic modalities holistically based on needs. I am respectful, laid back and humorous during tough work. I'm supportive & I encourage/challenge you to grow. It is difficult to change while health & wellness may require changes. I may use “tough love” while I am understanding and collaborative. Recovery/health requires action, growth, maturity, & accountability.

I have experience with anxiety, depression, couple/family/relationship issues, PTSD, substance use, personality disorders, minority stress, spiritual/religious/existential issues, anger management, and co-parenting.
Many come to therapy knowing only that they are struggling to get things done, their relationships have become a source of stress rather than comfort, or they need help processing trauma, loss, or other painful experiences impacting their daily lives. Whatever your circumstances, I strive to help each person or family I work with achieve greater emotional, psychological, and social well-being, while also alleviating symptoms. I use the power of storytelling and understand that each person I work with has many, important stories to tell. I also value and work with each person's nervous system in the healing process.

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.
