My passion is to help strengthen the relationship between parent and child. You may feel sometimes that you and your child are having difficulty connecting to where you feel like you are not on the same page. This disconnect coupled with the pressures of school issues, can manifest in your teen through behaviors such as anger, anxiety, depression, self-identity crisis, and even self harm.

I am the author of the parenting book, Punishment Doesn't Work, Practical Parenting Strategies That Actually Change Your Kid's Behavior.
If you are here, you are looking for a change, for understanding and for life to get better. Effective therapy requires a sense that the therapist understands you and what you need to do to feel better. My first goal is for you to come away from our initial session feeling like you are on your way to having a greater understanding of yourself and exactly what you need to do. You have a right to start feeling better and becoming a happier and more fulfilled person today.

I specialize in supporting children and families using a strength-based approach. I believe in neurodiversity and that there is not a "one size fits all" intervention.

I help families to see their child's potential and advocate for education services.

I also serve as a guardian ad litem, parent coordinator, & co- parenting therapist.
I love working with clients who are facing divorce, custody, or other family law issues. As a family lawyer turned therapist, I bring a keen understanding of the legal system to my clinical work with individuals & couples. However, not all of my clients are getting divorced! I also enjoy working with couples who wish to improve their relationships as well as individuals seeking to grow. Many of my clients are lawyers or other professionals who value my ability to analyze issues strategically and understand the challenges of a demanding profession. Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, & multicultural counseling traditions, I collaborate with clients to explore their concerns, set goals, & develop a plan for moving forward. My warm, empathic presence combined with my solution-focused approach allows me to provide non-judgmental support as clients tackle life's challenges.

I have a general private practice seeing adolescents and adults in individual, couples and family therapies. Among my areas of work are: couples transitioning to parenthood, working with women who are experiencing prenatal and postpartum issues, families having young children with disabilities, parenting difficulties, relationship problems, adolescents and young adults struggling with life transitions, and general stress, anxiety and depression. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, drawing from many sources particularly psychodynamic and relational principles. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to be present with you, providing a safe space to explore what emerges during the therapy sessions.

I offer both group and individual therapy for people on a fertility journey, including experiencing infertility, undergoing IUI/IVF, as well as experiencing intended parenthood, pregnancy, the "fourth trimester,” and parenting after infertility.
For over 35 years, as both a fertility psychologist and OB/GYN with a strong interest in infertility, I have loved helping people on their fertility journey. Are you on a fertility journey? Have you experienced obstacles along the way? Perhaps nothing is as disempowering as struggling with fertility. For many of us, issues with fertility mark the first time that we've wanted our bodies to do something that they seem not capable of doing. Challenges with fertility are traumatic experiences. Is it any wonder why we may be struggling?

Do you feel stressed, stuck, overwhelmed or exhausted? Maybe you're struggling with relationships; personal or professional, and you're battling feelings of sadness and anxiety. Could you use some support with parenting challenges or marital conflicts? What about unhealed trauma? Are you still experiencing the impact of that trauma but don't know where to start the healing process? Have you struggled to find a culturally competent therapist whose approach to your challenges is eclectic, holistic, and judgment free? You deserve to be heard. You deserve to be helped. You deserve to be healed. I'd like to help.

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.
