I have experience working with clients in the areas of anxiety, adoption, parent-child relationships, and aging.
We can all benefit from having someone to talk to. Sometimes, it can help to have someone provide us with a new or different way of thinking about things. As a licensed professional counselor associate, I desire to provide attentive presence during a client's time of personal growth and emotional need. I am passionate about equipping my clients to live their lives to the fullest. Whether the client is 4 years old or 84 years old, I believe everyone’s story has value, and everyone can benefit from going to counseling.

I have worked with many different clients on issues such as anxiety, depression, self-sabotaging behaviors, relational issues, and parenting challenges.
If you are looking at this website maybe it is because it feels like something is missing, or the knot in your stomach is telling you something isn’t quite right. Maybe your chest is tense or your throat is tight and you really are struggling to figure out the reason. If this sounds like you, therapy might be exactly the starting place to understand the messages your body and mind are sending you. Therapy is a partnership that requires commitment from both therapist and client and I want my clients to know that I am fully invested in the process. I will continually strive to learn and grow alongside you.

“What happened to us?” is a common thought many couples have. You go from lovers, to partners, to roommates. Life stressors, life events or simply new seasons of life can slowly dissolve a relationship, if we are not prepared. Individuals can go on autopilot and become unaware of their relationship. Many events such as an infidelity, financial hardships, parenting challenges, a new baby, job loss, mental health can affect the stability of a couple.

As a parent and therapist, I understand the deep love and concern you have for your child. It's natural to seek guidance when witnessing their struggles, which can be both distressing and frightening. Today's adolescents face challenges that can be overwhelmingly stressful for them and their parents. Many also experience trauma from abuse, bullying, or other adverse events. These challenges create immense stress that can significantly affect a young person's healthy development. If left unattended, these issues may lead to long-term difficulties, limiting their potential.

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.
