If you are struggling with parenting, shifts in religious values, past trauma, relational/sexual issues, or another difficult life transition, I would love to work with you and to help you navigate the best path forward FOR YOU.
Has it been a while since you've felt like yourself? Maybe you've been irritable, overwhelmed, depressed, tired, or anxious. Let's work together to deepen your capacity for true self-compassion, lasting growth, and help you to create meaningful, fulfilling relationships in every phase of life. As Dr. Brené Brown reminds us, we are wired for connection! When we are disconnected from ourselves, it can make connecting with others difficult and unsustainable. I am honored to support my clients as they explore, identify, and courageously express their desires from an increasingly secure place which is grounded in their values.

My specialties include and are not limited to trauma, child parent relationship difficulties, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, self harm and parenting.
Current world issues have led to an increase in suffering for many. This increase in emotional pain a person may walk in with could actually be a symptom of much deeper difficulties. Working through a secure therapeutic relationship, I help toddlers, children and adults not only resolve presenting problem, but also the deeper patterns and behaviors that may have impacted their life, relationships and parenting. Identifying and changing deeper behavioral patterns start with Authenticity, Empowerment, and Safety.

We all experience pain and search for healing. This can be overwhelming to us and we can experience a lack of control or hope for the future. Our relationship with ourselves is often impacted, hurt, and internalized through our unbearable experiences of early life relationships. This can leave us feeling isolated and fearful to engage fully in life and with others. We often create subconscious strategies for managing this pain in search of safety and meaning. As we grow, many of the ways that we learned to cope with what was once unbearable begin to feel burdensome and overwhelming and we find ourselves needing something new.

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.
