My work centers around helping clients develop skills to master life transitions such as adolescent conflict, parenting, work and career issues, relationship changes, substance abuse, significant loss, grief, divorce, trauma and coping with mood disorders.
I believe that all people have the capacity to grow and change and that counseling can make profound and lasting changes in your life. My clients are successful people who find themselves challenged during difficult experiences. Counseling is an excellent opportunity to help you learn about your strengths and to explore what you really want out of life and relationships. As an interactive, goal-oriented, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapist, my treatment approach provides support and practical feedback to help clients find solutions for current life challenges. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to determine if my practice is appropriate for your needs.

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.
