I work with children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of behavioral, mood, and anxiety issues, including depression, panic, social anxiety, ADHD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I also work with individuals to cope more effectively with life stressors and to grieve the situations that cannot be altered. The therapy process is collaborative; I listen intently to my clients symptoms and, empathically and non-judgmentally, I help them work through their pain to achieve their goals.
This group is designed to help parents of individuals suffering with any kind of mental illness or emotion dysregulation. The groups are exclusively for parents and stress the learning of skills, in addition to receiving support.
Parents have reported finding these skills helpful in learning how to manage, communicate
and relate to their children (of any age). Parents also report that they find the skills helpful in
their own lives as well. This group
helps parents interact with their child in ways that decrease emotionality, increase effective communication, and enable a calmer homelife.

Helping parents to become more effective in how they interact with their children enabling more appropriate behaviors, self-esteem and an " I can do it attitude" building confidence and "healthy interacting". Parents learn the "win-win" way of parenting where children earn their privileges rather than expect them. All children deserve love, food, clothing (non-designer) and shelter. All other activities are earned just like adults have to go to work to get money. Children earn their privileges by fulfilling their responsibilities (brushing teeth, going to bed on time, playing appropriately, doing homework, etc) which builds self confidence and esteem.

Parenting Support Groups
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.
