Because children do not come with a handbook, parents are often wondering if they are parenting correctly. Sometimes your house and your relationships can feel strained due to the challenges of parenting . Parents can feel as if the child is in charge of the emotional barometer of the house. Most parents at some point experience feelings of being overwhelmed and not knowing how to be effective and supportive at the same time. Therapy is a way of taking those first steps toward making positive changes for yourself and your family. By making small changes, you will be able to enjoy a more fulfilling parenting experience.

My goal is to help you find happiness and calm in life. Sometimes, we go through a life changing experience that can make us feel out of control.

If you are trying to cope with stress in various stages of life, whether it is at work or at home, and find that you cannot do it alone, please reach out and set up a free 15 minute consultation. I am currently only seeing adult individual clients at this time.

I will help you to not only alleviate your symptoms as quickly as possible, but will help you to understand the causes of your difficulties sufficiently so that you will less likely experience a re-emergence of symptoms as soon as therapy ends.

I have a general private practice seeing adolescents and adults in individual, couples and family therapies.

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.

Sometimes individuals struggle with managing daily life challenges, stress, depression, parenting woes, difficult relationships, self-esteem, mental health, family problems and many other issues that come with life. When you're suffering, it's natural to want to talk to someone about your problems.

Whether you feel stuck, have unhealthy relationships or thoughts, together we will navigate life's challenges and explore new ways of thinking, feeling, and living. I welcome older teens and adults to overcome obstacles by helping them to cope with life transitions. Currently, all sessions are conducted virtually.

Parenting is tough. Being a kid is tough. Being in relationship is tough. Therapy is tough and requires work. People do the best they can, with what they know, at any given time. When we know better, we do better. However, at times life is overwhelming, and situations can exceed one's ability to cope with them effectively. We are all part of various systems (family, work, community, school) and sometimes desire/require assistance in navigating those systems in a healthy manner. The ability to reach out for help is an act of courage and risk taking. Visit www.clbockwitz.com for further details.
