Counselor, LMHC

I work with women dealing with anxiety, life transitions, career stress, difficult relationships or marriages, and the challenges that come with parenting children at all stages—from little ones through adult children.
Many clients feel emotionally drained, stuck in patterns they can’t change, or overwhelmed despite trying hard to keep everything together. They often overthink, carry too much responsibility, or feel disconnected from themselves. In our work, we slow things down and help you understand what’s driving these patterns so things feel more manageable and clear.

I especially enjoy supporting new parents build healthy attachments with their child(ren).
Life can be full of ups and downs and sometimes it can be hard to ride those waves. Sometimes we need a lifeline – something or someone we can hold onto to help us ride out the storms. Knowing who to turn to for help can sometimes feel overwhelming because you want to know that the person you choose has the right tools to help you and is also someone you feel understands what you are going through. Change begins when we choose to take action and taking this first step of seeking out a therapist who can be that lifeline is evidence of your desire to find hope and healing.

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.
