This 4 session group will identify the issues that make it exciting and satisfying and/or sad and scary, for parents. The group will be educational, supportive, and will address specific issues raised by participants.

I have spent the last 20 years helping parents like you to understand your child, to have a closer relationship with your spouse and children, and to alleviate your worries and pain.

I view therapy as a collaborative relationship to which I bring compassion and a capacity to be completely present as we work together to resolve the challenges you struggle with.

Motherhood is a journey filled with joy, challenge and change; a journey that brings many new emotions ranging from exhilaration and love, to exhaustion and isolation. To help understand all the changes motherhood brings, women often long to talk with others about the joys and challenges of parenting infants and young children.
"Mothers Talking" provides a supportive, caring place to talk, laugh, problem solve, make lasting friendships, and connect with others on the journey of motherhood.

Connecting with the right therapist is so important. Finding someone who can help you find words to describe your experience, identify solutions to your problems, and develop strategies to reduce your stress. When you connect with the right person you know because you feel less alone. I have years of experience working with adults, children, adolescents, and families who faced seemingly insurmountable problems. Together, we found strength in the struggle, strategies to manage it all, and ways to feel more connected. What I love most about being a therapist is the possibility.

My main goal is to help my clients of all ages (pre-teen-senior citizens) navigate along life's journey as they seek and maintain happiness. Change/transition is a constant and fact of life. Transitions can be positive (having a baby, getting married, getting a new job) or negative (a loss of a loved one, a loss of a job, an unwanted move). Whether positive or negative these transitions can cause stress, anxiety and depression. If transitions have been grinding you down and you feel stuck in life, schedule a consultation with me. I am excited to start this journey with you.

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.
