I also work with parents of autistic children and other disabilities who face a unique and challenging parenting journey.
When we live a life of reflection, we open ourselves to the rich depths of life's possibilities. We move away from the needless suffering of unresolved pain. I help my clients examine the intricacies of their minds and relationships in a warm, supportive, nonjudgmental environment. I help them make sense of their lives and their histories to understand how they impact their current challenges. Together we build a refuge where strengths are discovered and life becomes more joyful. My training is psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, however, my style always depends on the needs of my clients and the relationship we create.

Pregnancy, birthing, and early parenting are physically and emotionally life altering transitions. For many families they can be a mix of immense joy and overwhelming suffering. If you are struggling with infertility or loss, the road to parenthood is even more emotionally burdensome. Trained in maternal mental health, I help women and couples work through the challenges of difficulty conceiving, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and early parenting. I help the whole family to develop resources, make meaning out of your experiences, transform your identity, and forge supportive and loving relationships within your family unit.

If you are overwhelmed by stress, find yourself repeating dysfunctional patterns in your personal life, reliving past hurts or experiencing difficulty navigating life transitions, therapy can provide relief. Relationship problems, anxiety, depression, and physical ailments are all common symptoms signaling that it may be time to address possible underlying issues which can cause emotional and mental pain. The experience of psychotherapy should be illuminating, validating and empowering. Choosing the right therapist is key.

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.
