Reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially if you’re used to coping on your own or supporting others. You might be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or impacted by past experiences that still feel close. I offer a warm, non-judgmental and informal space where you can feel safe, heard and supported during vulnerable times.

Thoughtful people who want more than quick fixes or simple explanations find me most helpful. Many experience anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, relationship difficulties, or a persistent sense that life has become constrained by patterns they cannot fully understand. Often they have spent years trying to solve the problem alone. Together, we explore not only symptoms, but the wider contexts shaping them: relationships, family histories, workplaces, communities, values, and life circumstances. Therapy becomes a space to develop deeper understanding and new possibilities for action when old ways of coping no longer work.

What we label as harsh self-criticism, addiction, perfectionism, depression, mood disorders, or anxiety can be understood in a different light. These aren't signs of weakness or flaws. Rather: protective patterns. They reflect the mind’s effort to cope, to endure, and to keep going under strain. Trauma is not always a single, defining event. More often, it is shaped slowly through repeated experiences of overwhelm and a lack of control. It can grow in environments where love felt uncertain, criticism was frequent, expectations were high, or where caregivers were struggling themselves. I help people who carry similar patterns.

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.
