Parenting is hard. Your days feel like constant battles with tantrums, power struggles, or defiance. Simple tasks take way longer than they should. You feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and sad that you aren't enjoying parenthood as much as you'd like. You try to stay calm, but irritation, yelling, and guilt often follow. You wonder, “It can’t be this hard for the next 18 years!” From the kiddo throwing his 5th tantrum of the day to the teenager who perplexes parents—shouldn't they be more independent by now, parenting is hard.

I provide therapy for children and teens and parenting support through play therapy, parent coaching, and counseling for families. Your child has a safe space to process big feelings, while you gain tools to feel calmer and more confident in your parenting. Together, we’ll ease anxiety, reduce tantrums, and strengthen family relationships.

Coming to therapy can feel scary, but you don’t have to do this alone. I offer a warm, judgment-free environment where your whole family can grow and heal. By the end of our work together, you’ll notice fewer outbursts, less stress, and more peace at home. Most importantly, you’ll feel confident in your parenting and hopeful about the future.

In therapy, I use a blend of cognitive behavior therapy and attachment to help you better understand and navigate your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. In your first session, we explore what brought you to therapy and then decide on your goals collaboratively. In our sessions, you can expect a safe, supportive space where you'll build self-awareness and create lasting positive change.
