Sometimes life can feel like trying to climb Mount Everest without any supplies. As a fellow traveler of life, I have experienced steep climbs, low valleys, feeling disconnected, and at times hopeless. The experiences of my journey have given me an authentic wisdom to navigate the unfamiliar or challenging terrain with you. Together, we can do hard things and tread across the contours of life. My areas of focus are: trauma, personal/mental health challenges while parenting/raising children, women's mental health, peri/postpartum anxiety/depression, substance use, identity development, geriatric, life transitions, and end of life.

I have worked with a variety of issues including gender transition and coming out, depression/anxiety, parenting, trauma, self-harm, difficult family dynamics, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, anger, defiance, and peer relationships, just to name a few.
Are you ready to heal from trauma or grief, set personal boundaries, gain coping skills and improve relationships? If you answered "yes," welcome! As your therapist, we will work together to set goals to achieve healing and mental wellness.

A person is a person, no matter how small.- Dr. Seuss Speaking your truth is difficult when your first language is play, or you find it difficult to share your thoughts because of anxiety or depression. Children struggle with a myriad of concerns in our technologically-driven age, whereby, their first impressions stem from influences seen on television, social media, and experiences from within their home or school environments. Moreover, adjusting to life-changing events is hard for children who need to feel supported on their journey through life.

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.
