I also provide Parenting Coaching to help improve parent-child relationships.
Does your teen have trouble dealing with their emotions? Do you wish that they talked to you more about what goes on in their lives? Perhaps you are a young adult with anxiety or depression. Does making life decisions around school, work, or relationships feel unmanageable at times? Teens and young adults have so much to deal with these days. Everyday stresses can include school, family, and friendships as well as issues around identity, seeking independence, and making important life choices. The added pressures of technology and social media can make it even more challenging to come of age today.

The weight of our experiences, choices, and life circumstances can get heavy at times. During these periods it can be difficult to see outside of our pain, to choose an alternate path, or to create meaning. In therapy, I work with adults, who are struggling with common issues such as: depressed mood, anxiety, stress, self-criticism, feeling disconnected, relationship dissatisfaction, and parenting issues. I will work with you to explore ways for you to feel more confident in your choices, as well as connected to yourself and the important people in your life.

The journey to parenthood is an exciting and life changing experience. It can also be a stressful and uncertain time that might leave you feeling isolated, vulnerable, and overwhelmed. If you are a perinatal client struggling to cope, experiencing low mood, distressing thoughts, perinatal anxiety/depression, grief and loss, or feelings of isolation, therapy can help. I work with individuals and their partners to help them understand and process these experiences, gain new perspectives and parent in a way that feels genuine. I have 12 years experience supporting children, youth and families with mental health and parenting concerns.

From time to time many of us find ourselves struggling with our thoughts, emotions, and inner experiences. This can be described as an “inner voice” which is often: worrying, judging, analyzing and criticizing. It’s the one that tells us we aren’t good enough or that we are going to fail. This voice can become overwhelming and can even seem to take control over our thoughts. If you’ve ever experienced this, you are not alone. Together we can explore how to navigate difficult thoughts and emotions. This will lead to a better understanding of who you are, and create greater harmony in your life.

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.
