If you are struggling with parenting, motherhood challenges, relational issues, adult lifespan transitions or mental health issues, I invite you to reach out for a free 15 minute consultation call.
I enjoy collaborating and exploring solutions with adults who are adjusting to parenthood and other lifespan transitions. Your cultural experience, personal strengths and therapeutic goals are used to create the change you want to see. Parenting is one example of a lifespan transition where your identity, self care routine, personal expectations, and relational dynamics can be tested and challenging. Psychotherapy can help validate and support the adjustment to a new normal providing you the skills and strategies necessary for overcoming issues, developing fresh insight, and flourishing with a new sense of meaning and purpose.

I specifically enjoy working with issues around grief, relationship and family issues, parenting, trauma, and spirituality.
Are you aware that something lays under the surface of your daily life but can't quite name what it is? Therapy is a safe place where you can explore the emotions, memories, and issues that can be easily buried as you go about your life. Whether you have a specific issue that brings you to seek counseling or have just a general sense that something isn't quite right, I would love to meet with you. Often, it is only through connecting in safe relationship that hidden emotions can freely come out.

Parental alienation is when one parent discredits the other parent to a child or children the two share.
Are you struggling through a high conflict divorce or custody arrangement? Is the ex-partner using your child as a weapon to lash out at you in increasingly odd ways? Does it seem like there is nowhere to turn as Guardian ad Litem, Judges, inexperienced counselors and CPS social workers seem uninterested in examining the root causes? Does your ex-spouse refuse to productively co- parent? Is your child now "parroting" their words and hatred to you? If so, you may be suffering from one of three stages of Parental Alienation. In severe forms, your child even may refuse to see you and appears to be programmed by the other parent.

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.
