Being a parent is challenging.
Are you a teenager feeling burned out, or worn out? Maybe you're the parent of a teenager and you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and also worn out. Each child's and parent's situation is unique to the individual and needs personal attention and care.

I've specialized in relationship and parenting issues, particularly inter-racial relationship issues; alcohol/drug abuse, codependency, adult children of alcoholics, and family of origin issues.
Does being in love mean being in pain? Are you and your significant other having a hard time communicating or getting your needs met? Are you confused, anxious, sad or angry? Are you feeling less motivated? Having difficulty concentrating or sleeping? Do you feel distracted and find it hard to follow through? Are you questioning your goals or feel stuck? Are you questioning your family of origin and feel you have issues from the past that are unresolved? Are you grieving the loss of someone? Do you worry about yourself or your significant other and their bad habits? Are you a survivor?

As a licensed psychologist, I offer counseling and assessment services for adults, children, couples, and families. I believe it is critical to recognize each person's diverse needs and unique background. I aim to foster an environment of understanding by guiding clients to gain awareness and develop coping skills. Together, we explore how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. As clients begin to recognize patterns in thinking, feeling, and behavior, they practice effective coping skills. When clients apply the skills they have learned, they build confidence, overcome personal obstacles, and thrive.

I help my clients gain insight into their lives. I encourage client collaboration to choose goals and pace their therapy. Together, we take a non-judgmental view of emotions, thoughts, belief system and patterns adopted to cope with distress. In therapy, clients often discover how their defenses developed and how they presently affect them. The freedom to discard old patterns releases associated shame and encourages forgiveness and acceptance. I work to empower clients to learn about mindful choice and develop healthy relationships. Success is witnessing clients reclaim their authentic voice and live their authentic selves.

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.
