My personal journey has been marked by both joys and sorrows, by growth and healing. Enduring the unexpected loss of a parent, battling negative self-perceptions, enduring abusive relationships, being hurt and betrayed by the church, the highs and lows of parenthood and marriage- these experiences have all contributed to who I am today. Through the beauty and pain of my life experiences, I have discovered the transformative power of inner resilience and spiritual connection. My experiences have led me to open Barnett Healing Center, where we provide a variety of services to assist in the healing journey of the mind, body & soul.

I strive to be authentic, trans parent, and non-judgemental allowing you to face your past, present, and future challenges head on.
The ideal therapy patient for my practice is someone who desires to make deep, sometimes difficult, and long-lasting changes. Many patients have been in counseling before and have yet to realize the improvements they desire. The types of problems my patients bring to therapy are often a complicated mix of specific symptoms and unsatisfying relationships. I provide a different approach to therapy than many psychologists. While popular therapy models like, CBT, REBT, DBT, and EMDR are powerful and helpful, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is the treatment of choice for personality disorders and complicated conditions.

Yet, simultaneously we desire to be unique, special, and individualistic. I believe it is necessary to think of humans as puzzle pieces in order to fulfill both. While the pieces share the same geographical space as well as have the same manufacturer, they are unique and serve varying purposes. Do you belong at the top but are content being a side piece?

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.
