Are you a parent struggling to stay afloat? Are the constant demands of work, family, and your kids’ school overwhelming to you? Is there one child in your household who is throwing things off kilter? Are you trying to ‘keep up with the Joneses’ and you feel like you’re failing? Are your finances unmanageable? If you relate to any of these statements, I can help! I help overwhelmed parents to find their sense of balance and self-fulfillment again. Give yourself the gift of one hour a week, and you’ll see a positive shift in yourself and in your family.
The United States Surgeon General recently released a report highlighting the mental health needs of parents today. The report details the many demands placed on parents and the harmful impact it may have on their children. Therapy is a great place to share stressors, talk about challenges, find support and enhance your own well-being. You deserve it!
I have openings for in-person therapy in my office in Northwest Washington, DC. Reaching out is an act of courage! Call or email me today to set up a free 15-minute consultation with me or one of our staff therapists.

If you are interested in having therapy outside, I take clients into Rock Creek Park each week for Nature-Informed Therapy sessions, or "Walk and Talk" sessions. Nature provides us with the opportunity or metaphor. It is rich with opportunities for making meaning in our very human lives! The fresh air and beauty of the outdoors complement the work of therapy.
