I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who works with teens (13+) and adults through life’s changes and challenges. My ideal client is navigating relationship challenges, breakups, divorce, grief, or major life transitions while balancing everyday responsibilities. They may feel overwhelmed, overthink decisions, struggle with mood or sleep, or feel uncertain about their next steps. They want clarity, emotional stability, healthier patterns, and practical tools to move forward with confidence. Ultimately, they are seeking growth, peace, and a stronger sense of self.

I utilize a wholistic approach to psychotherapy. I am interested in helping families heal from disagreement, emotional pain, trauma, loss and change through the use of individual, couples, family, and group therapy. I believe that each one of us has a strong inner voice that we need to find and connect with in order to be well. When difficult feelings surface, our energy or connection to ourselves and others can become weakened and we feel drained or blocked from living to our fullest potential. I am eclectic in my approach. I seek to assist clients to understand their true potential.

You're likely here because you've already tried everything else like talking to friends or family, reading self-help books and listening to podcasts...you’ve maybe even tried therapy before. You've tried to do it alone. And yet, you are still struggling. Maybe your worries don’t stop or when you think about the future, you imagine the worst. You might feel never quite good enough no matter what you accomplish. Sleeping could be difficult, your mood might be irritable or down, and/or you feel anxious and on edge all the time. You are not alone! I have been there as have all of my clients.

As a parent myself, I enjoy working with clients transitioning to parenthood, including fertility patients.
I believe that the foundation of successful therapeutic work is forming strong, collaborative relationships with my clients. This emphasis is essential when tackling complex problems and stressors. I join with clients to heal from trauma, build emotional skills and resilience, and gain insight into relationships and events, both past and present. I challenge clients to integrate skills gained in sessions into their daily lives and we review progress and adjust the clinical approach as needed.

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.
