” My speciality focuses on the perinatal period and in the early years of parenting.
In addition to parents, I work with children, teens, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression and trauma. The approach is the same: exploring the past to better understand how it has manifested today. We then create a plan to cope and be more present within the body, mind, and spirit.

I specialize in behavioral concerns, high-stress situations, anxiety, depression, anger management, life skills, group work, and services for juveniles, adolescents, young adults, and parents.
My goal as a counselor is to provide a therapeutic environment grounded in empathy, compassion, and authenticity. While many aspects of life are outside of our control, developing practical tools and insight can strengthen our ability to manage what is within our control and support improved mental health. Many adaptive behaviors developed for survival in adulthood may stem from earlier life experiences, including trauma such as abuse, neglect, or abandonment, which can influence patterns in relationships and across generations.

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.
