I see clients in a variety of combinations: individuals, current partners in couples' counseling, former partners together to improve co-parenting relationships, families and youngsters.
I subscribe to the theory that "Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional". My clients say they appreciate the compassion and expertise I provide. I bring years of experience and wisdom to clients who want better understanding and mastery of their lives. Solution-focused and dynamic, I care deeply about my clients and challenge them to be honest and responsible so that their lives can be more satisfying. I work with clients to reduce depression, anxiety and improve troubled relationships. I value the therapeutic alliance with my clients and offer clients "A lantern, a lifeboat and a ladder" (Rumi)

Couples, individuals, and families come to therapy to address challenges that often feel overwhelming and scary. Together, we can work at your pace towards creating room to process difficult emotions and utilize relationships as a vessel for healing.

I understand the needs of children & teach co-parenting skills for separated or together parents.
I admire & appreciate the courage it takes to initiate & maintain therapy. Indivduals & couples call because they are stuck in unhealthy patterns & do not know how to do something different. I assist them in creating & maintaining healthy patterns. Anxiety & panic are struggles for many people. They learn to control the anxiety as opposed the anxiety controlling them. Miscommunication happens because people often listen to talk as opposed to understand. I teach clients how to communicate in the therapy room so they leave knowing how to do it. Clients regain trust so they can reconnect emotionally & sexually.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, the growth journey from childhood to adulthood can be challenging and stormy at times. Especially when there are chronic issues, escalating symptoms or sudden life changes, the adults in a child’s life may find themselves in the vulnerable position of seeking assistance outside of their direct circle of support. As a counselor by nature, I have spent my career passionate about strengthening families and helping children to flourish in the midst of difficult life circumstances. I specialize in the common challenges of childhood/adolescence and offer a wide range of parent education opportunities.

Life is something, isn’t it? Moments of joy, accomplishment, and meaning can feel fleeting, and many of us find we spend much of our time wondering if we’re the only ones struggling to picture what contentment even looks like. Actually maintaining it in our daily lives can seem impossible. We look around at our families, our careers, our friendships, our relationships with our children, and we see areas where there is room for growth and change. The difference between noticing what we want to improve and having the strength, support, and courage to actually do it though can feel vast. And lonely.

Hello. If you are reading this, chances are very good that you are seeking to make changes in your relationship. I know how difficult it can be to share personal details with a stranger. It is my belief that every couple who seeks assistance is unique. Methods of treatment honor the individual and couple relationship. Couples therapy is not about right or wrong, but about perspective and patterns that may not be working. When we gain insight and develop communication skills that serve us we have healthier relationships. Relationship counseling is an investment in current relationships and complete health of the family.

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” (Carl Rodgers) We can’t change what we do not explore and the first step in the direction of that journey is always the hardest. But you are here already taking that step, looking for someone to assist with the change that you seek. Everyday life can be in the way of focusing on healing from our past, management of stress/mental health issues and making changes for our future. Setting aside time for yourself is important! You are important!

Inside you're struggling with worry and feelings of unease and insecurity. Maybe you feel sad or on edge, and can’t focus on the things you love.

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.
