Therapy can feel intimidating at first, but know that you don't have to face your worries or problems alone. I work with people ages 4+ to address a variety of stressors including anxiety, trauma, mood dysregulation, interpersonal challenges, and grief. I strive to create a safe space for self-exploration and growth. Trust and connection are key, and progress comes from discomfort. My role is to help you embrace challenges while staying transparent. I often tell clients—especially adults—that if therapy never feels uncomfortable, I’m not doing my job right.

Are you feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or like your life is passing you by? Do you find yourself worrying about anything and everything? Is it difficult for you to feel at peace or like you’re a spectator in your own life?

This can lead to chronic anxiety, low self-worth, and even shame, if left unaddressed. If you're ready to take the first step toward healing and move from just surviving to thriving in the present moment, you've come to the right place!

I also help parents understand your child's individual needs and ways to support your child in an accepting, supportive, and research-backed way.
So many times we walk through our world feeling different, alone, and misunderstood. We desire to be seen as our unique, quirky selves without the pressures to perform within the neurotypical norms. Expectations, deadlines, organization can feel like a prison. We seek refuge to live in our distinct values and have healthy relationships with our family and loved ones without judgment. Using evidence-based creative and expressive methods through a blend of art therapy and talk therapy we can explore and identify your unique place in the world.

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.
