I have worked with disconnected relationships, affair recovery, divorce, co-parenting, depression, anxiety, family discord, parenting issues, eating disorders, sexual dysfunction, trauma, identity issues and other presenting problems.
You may find yourself in the middle of a life change, grief, questioning your identity, divorce or experiencing unwanted mental health symptoms, among other things. Maybe your relationship is at a crossroad, has experienced an affair or you're tired of dealing with the same relational problems over and over with the same results. You don't have to navigate these roads alone. Reaching out for help and support is a courageous step towards creating the life and relationships that you want.

Everyone has problems. We cannot control the circumstances or people that show up in our lives, but we can decide how we are going to respond to them. Not knowing how you feel, what you think or what you want contributes to confusion, frustration, anxiety and depression. Establishing your own authentic self, as opposed to what others want you to be, can be a difficult task. Developing assertive communication skills and understanding your own emotional boundaries are essential to managing distressing symptoms and situations. I can help you take charge of your life and create the one you want.

None of us are able to escape transition. Our relationships change, our families change, our environments change, and our bodies change. Whether the change we experience is welcome, abrupt, devastating, or a mix of many feelings, we must leave the familiar when it comes. Growth happens when we walk forward and integrate our new awareness and adapt to the new era that we are entering. Sometimes this growth needs more support than we anticipate. Flourishing is possible, but we can feel stuck in our journey to get to it.

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.
