Many children don't respond to traditional parenting or have developmental differences (ADHD, autism, intellectual disability, etc.) or histories of trauma that impact behavior— they are not bad kids and there’s a lot of child development science to help! I provide evidence-based therapy for decreasing problem behavior and increasing positive behaviors. Each child/teen is unique and benefits from a personalized plan so we will work together to create one that emphasizes your family’s values, ideas, needs, and goals. Families with diverse communication, social, intellectual, neurological, and/or motor abilities are very much welcome.

Anxiety disorders are treatable. I believe in teaching cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) skills so that individuals may become experts in addressing their own needs. My training began at the University of Florida where I participated in research and authored publications under the Department of Psychiatry, which has specialized in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for over twenty years. This experience fostered my belief in providing evidence-based treatment. Later, as a doctoral student at Louisiana State University my specializations included parent training, assessment and treatment related to ADHD and Learning Disabilities, as well as group counseling for teens.

I have worked with clients from Hawaii to Florida, and strived to contribute to their personal journeys toward fulfillment and balance. My work initially focused on children and families, and evolved to include lifestyle and behavioral counseling for adults, families, and seniors of all ages and stages of life. Over the past 5 years, I have focused on nurturing individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, loneliness, and confusion. From grief, loss, or fear, to parenting, finding work life balance, or entering new chapters of life, change presents us all with burdens that should be recognized and appreciated.

I specialize in individual therapy, pre-marital and marriage counseling, and in parenting and family issues.
I believe that many emotional problems people experience stem from the accumulation of previously well intentioned but flawed solutions for every day difficulties. These solutions often create secondary dysfunctional issues which aggravate the original problem. This vicious cycle is particularly relevant to relationships. Unreasonable expectations of oneself and others combined with inappropriate behavior in certain situations contribute to the downward spiral. Using evidence based strategies, I coach clients to make the appropriate attitudinal, emotional and behavioral changes necessary which can result in creative and workable solutions to their difficulties resulting in lasting emotional growth and greater satisfaction with their lives.

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.
